Happy Easter Post Covid

This holiday is very different than 2020. We had a family get together yesterday, hid Easter eggs with our grandchildren, shared delicious food and took the littles swimming. What a joyful day. 

I made a fun tray for treats for the bunny and the kids!

Ethan and Tino with grandma. I even had a happy fur baby! 

But the real reason for such a wonderful holiday is beyond chocolate and eggs. 

He is risen!

Getting our energy back!

Slowly, but surely, we are getting our energy back after Covid-19. Been working on a few home projects and some RV repairs. 

Sarah, Natalie and I go to high tea every December but missed this year because of the pandemic. Sarah had Covid in November and is just now starting to feel better. We planned our annual tea party for today but the Spicery was out of food by the time we got there! Imagine! 

After some discussion, we hit on Plan B, Mexican food. Really enjoyed ourselves at ...

Covid-19 stopped by!

Well, we thought we might actually make it to our vaccines, Covid-19 free. We were so careful but around Valentines Laton had a dry cough, runny nose, sore throat, headache, leg aches and extremely tired. He thought it was a head cold or allergies. Then about 3 days later I had the same symptoms, but less body aches, more headache. 

We scheduled Covid tests with CVS on 2-19-21. A couple of weeks later we finally got the results! Positive for Covid-19. Have no idea how we picked it up! So glad it was mild and we were able to treat with Tylenol and lots and lots of naps! In fact, we were lucky and it was over before we even knew we had it! We are symptom free and done with quarantine as of 2-28-21. We are looking forward to spring. 

A New Adventure

I haven’t talked about COVID-19 much. Laton and I have sheltered in place since 3-18-20. After 47 days, we are on the road again. We accepted a camp host position at Highline Lake near Grand Junction, CO. click here

We start working 5-1-20 for a two month stint. It is so nice to be out of the house, away from the news and house chores. The different scenery is great! We drove southeast and plan on going up through NM to CO and take a few days to get there. Something different from traveling through the AZ-UT reservation as there are few places to stop and there is a high COVID-19 infection rate in that area. 

With masks in hand, we have set out on our adventure. NM has state park closures until 5-1-20 so our favorite landing spot, City of Rocks State Park is not available for camping. 

We ended up spending the night at Elephant Butte Lake RV Resort near the town of Truth or Consequences, NM. It was a very nice resort and we ended up getting one of the last spots. Because of COVID-19 mandates they are required to stay at 25% occupancy. Most traveler services like rest areas, truck stops and restaurant drive throughs are mostly open. 

Our dogs are really happy to be out and about again. Temperature are in the 90’s so far. Using the AC requires electricity so we will be doing very little dry camping at this point. Stay with us on our new adventure!
