We are a retired American couple traveling for a year with our small terrier mix, LuLu. Sam retired from his architecture career and Donna retired from 35 years of teaching special education students at the primary level. This is our gap year! The house is packed up and rented out and our son and daughter-in-law do not have children yet, so we are as free as can be. Donna's dream has been to live in France, and Sam is making it come true! We are traveling in Central Europe and Scandinavia for 3 months before heading to Provence for a 5 month stay. View all posts by 510donna

Good to hear that you’re in safe harbor, and your decision to stay put very wise. Here feels very strange, very sad, and scary. It sometimes feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone. But we’re fine.
Best wishes,
Alex

So glad you are safely housed and healthy. Things are getting a bit scary, the governor having declared that all Californians should stay in their homes, and saying, as well, that over half of all Californians will get the virus. All systems are overwhelmed. Today, Thursday, I signed up for home delivery for groceries, but that system is s overwhelmed that nothing can be delivered till next Friday. My young neighbors pick up stuff for me whenever they shop. So I’ll be okay. Josh and his family and I face time several times a week Sarah calls me for help on her history and English assignments and I enjoy that. My exercise bike is stationed so that as I pedal away for 40 minutes or so, I’m looking at the ocean. Other days I walk by the ocean or in GG park. I certainly am glad I love to read and play the piano. Sugarpie, by the way, is enjoying it all because she gets lots more attention. Ben is right. Stay put until this is over. It will be at some point. I hate it that Trump is getting good press for what he should have done months ago! USA is pretty fucked up right now. Stay well, read books, take walks and just love each other to pieces. Love, Sudie
