It was a trying time in our early history when Thomas Paine wrote "These are the times that try men's souls. He said it exactly right for our world today.
He applied it to the Revolutionary War but we'll apply it to the virus that's striking every conceivable place on our planet.
Number 45 president thinks it's going to be over soon and even first graders know that it's going to be a very long time. If we take a cake out of the oven to soon, it's unedible. If we relax our rules today we'll have another big episode.
I'm very old now but I worry about my children and their children's offspring and how their lives will be affected.
My son Jeff said that everything will go back into place once we're over this hurdle..but I don't know.
Health comes first and then money. I see my savings spiral downward the same as everybody's and
I think to myself that it took me a lifetime to save this and to live in luxury at Marion Woods Residential Living and leaving some for my children.
But I'm not complaining...I'm grateful for everything I have.

Don't Fence me in!
Hello my friends! I was thinking today of bucket lists and this terrible virus certainly does not qualify. If we were able to reverse it the entire world would celebrate in their different languages. Oh how we would rejoice!
We would sing, dance, scream, shout to let the world know that everything's okay.
What happened! Everything's fine and then all of a sudden..THIS! Is it spiritual, scientific, or did mankind do something very wrong?
We are all in quarantine. I live in a retirement community and we wave to one another...and that's it. Our big dining room remains empty and our meals are served to us in our apartments.
Outside our front doors we have a big blue clipper attached to the door frame and each day it brings
surprises ...things to keep our minds active...puzzles and word games. We want to be able to sit at our dining room table once again with interesting conversation.
Our servers are great. They're very young and cheerful and our management is trying very hard to occupy our time.
No complaints! I skype with my friends and family so I still need to comb my hair and put lipstick and earrings on. And also change my shirt because they'll notice and I don't want them to think I' a slob.
My walls are coated with family and friends pictures, thanks to Donna my daughter in law.
I feel my age. I walk with a rolator and I need hearing aids for my ears.
I have a Kindle and I use it every day. It helps me escape
Thanks for reading...Hilda Gordon a resident.
So for now...thanks for reading.
