The fright one gets when a gun is pointed at you, both Elias and I were held up in our driveway because we didn't close our gate quick enough, in a slit second we had guns at each of our head. God was truly in control of our lives that day. very enjoyable and oh, so true. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Sad but true what Jen here said Living in S.A this is more likely to happen and occur than not sadly

In Hawai'i, people have been wearing face masks for more than one year. Seen without a face mask, their "white beard" looks like they are still wearing one . ..... Aloha! Rico

That’s mad Jan, and brilliant, I made a comment to a guy the other day who passed me in the shopping mall, he had a baseball hat on and a mask, with a crowbar in his hand, I said you gonna rob the bank, he just said och aye in a northern accent and laughed, he was doing work in a some shop, I think, cheers David

I’ve only been to the one funeral myself, under lockdown restrictions, thank god, it really is very sad, doesn’t seem to do the memory of the person any justice, with such limited numbers allowed, I wish you well Jan.

been a tough day with a socially distanced funeral with 9 mourners - its the first one we have been to in lockdown (went to about 5 last yr when we had no restrictions) hugs Jan xx

We must keep our humor at all cost, I’m busy enough so it helps break the monotony, hope your managing to keep sane, the soup is a great release cheers David

I wrote a limerick on the same subject (about 10 days ago) but it still doesn't scan well so i thought i'd just done a one liner, Hope all is good with you:-) hugs Jan xx

I dont mind wearing them now, we go out of lockdown on Monday but can see the day when we will have to wear masks and distance again - i can see mum on Monday but have to distance - so near yet so far... i have to wear a mask so she will find it hard to hear me even with her hearing aid on, but these are the rules for now so i have to go with it, hugs jan xx
