PORCH PONDERINGS

After the Contest

I am just about a day away from completing a marathon contest. The Wonderland contest is almost done for me. What a lot of fun this has been. We have explored the books of 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' by Lewis Carroll. The creative exercises have been helped quite a bit as I've been sequestered here in my house.

But you know, I am retired. I am sequestered here at home most days. So what is new here? Not much. Hubby and I have done a bit more around the house, though. We've cleaned up a bit. We've cleared out a closet or two. But we are planning to remodel a bedroom, so that was on the schedule anyway.

We don't go out to eat much, so cooking our meals is not unusual. We didn't go out and stock up on food, we have enough. We didn't go out and buy a truck-load of anything. We live far enough way from shopping that we always have spares of everything non-perishable. So the only thing I need to buy when we go to town in a day or so is fresh food. The selection here in town is not ideal. If there is anything left after the locust hoard, that is.

SO - I pray for everyone out there expending so much energy trying to get through this crisis. We'll get through this. We have had crises before and we will have more in the future. Put your hand on the wheel, keep your eyes on the stars and steady as you go.
