Quarantined - A night out

I never thought I would be able to say I lived during a pandemic, but here we are.  The entire world is scared to get something called the Corona virus.  Many people have died. And it has finally found it's way to my little corner of the world.  (Like WV has corners.  LOL). But West Virginia was the last state to come down with the virus.

It's a terrible, scary thing, but a lot of people get through by trying to stay light-hearted.  So, we make jokes and do what we can to get through the days.  Especially now, when so many people are quarantined. 

Schools are closed, restaurants and bars, as well as many other businesses have closed their doors for the safety of others.  And people are quarantined, as well.  We can only go out to get groceries or other necessities.  

So, that's why I was so excited to go to Walmart this evening.  I actually fixed my hair and put makeup on!  LOL. I have been stuck at home almost the whole month since it got to be a big problem in the US.  Just me and the boys.  

The boys are Zeus and Beau!  Beau is just three months old, and quite the handful.  Just ask Zeus!  LOL

Sooo, I was especially excited to not only go to Walmart, but we also went through a Wendy's drive thru and took our food to the park to eat!  It was pretty quiet there and chilly, but it was so great to be out of the house for a couple hours!

I don't care about being quarantined.  It's not fun.  People are going a little stir crazy.  But I just hope we can get through this pandemic without very many more deaths.  I think people are really pulling together and trying to do the right thing.  So hopefully it will be over by May or June, and this will be a bit of history where the whole world will have learned that we can do anything if we work together! 

Positivity and Love can do anything!  Stay well, people!

WV Mountaineer Snowman - A Painting

I thought I'd show you a painting I created before Christmas!  I'm not sure how the idea came to me, but I think he turned out pretty cute!  My friend Melody gave me the idea to use the Flying WV as snowflakes.  LOL  He's my whimsical tribute to two WV college teams.  Obviously, WVU's Mountaineers in Morgantown, but also Glenville State's Pioneers.  I grew up in Glenville, you see, and the Pioneers are very similar to the Mountaineers (the people, if not the teams).

I teach paint parties, but this isn't one of my classes.  I would love to make some more and sell them, though!  What do you think of him?  Let me know in the comments below.
