Hola dispatch!

Wilson finished painting the hall bath last week. New art hangs in there now. These ladies keep vigil for his showers. Shoutout to Daughter for the art work. 

Homemade chicken pot pie on Sunday. 

I made the pastry. From scratch. 

This is not the lizard that visited last week. This is a skink. We were spellbound watching it crawl up and down the screen over and over only to realize that it couldn't cross the metal that separated the panels. Finally it came down and crawled the bricks over to the other side of the porch. 

Volunteer petunias that I potted several weeks ago are giving us a good show. 

This is what quarantine really looks like. A hot mess. Yes, we have almost made it through the first 12 pounds of popcorn that I ordered. You can see  the second 12 pound bag that came by UPS yesterday. The mail, the wine, the art project are all on the quarantine counter. The mail gets read about the third day after arrival. The wine made it to the fridge just a few minutes ago. The tequila will go into a margarita tonight. The art project will go into the trash bin when I get tired of looking at it. It kept me occupied last Saturday while Wilson worked on the Habitat house. 

I picked up fajitas for two from the restaurant that belongs to a fellow parishioner. He is our church videographer. 

Carlos.

Daughter and husband celebrate 19 years of marriage today. 

It made her teary eyed last night when she realized that her granddaddy's surprise that day was a surprise to us, too. She thought we had been in on the secret. We hadn't. 

A neighbor had agreed to let us employ his model-T as the get away car from their wedding reception. I thought the neighbor was going to drive. But. When the happy couple exited the building her grandfather was standing all dapper with the car door open and his driver hat on! 

And now she knows the rest of the story is that we didn't know.

He had planned it for weeks and weeks. I thought it was odd that he kept asking me about the model-T. He had secretly practiced driving it in preparation for the wedding day. 

The first car he ever drove was a model-T.

Time to fold sheets and towels and do other stuff.

Shalom.
