New Normal

UNITED WE STAND πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
πŸ”ΉCarnival Cruise line told Trump, “We can match those big Navy hospital ships with some fully staffed cruise ships.”
πŸ”ΉGM & Ford said, “Hold our cars, watch this; we can make ventilators where we were making cars by next week.”
πŸ”ΉConstruction companies said, “Here are some masks for the medical staff & doctors.”
πŸ”ΉRestaurants & schools said, “We’ve got kitchens & staff; we can feed the kids.”
πŸ”ΉNHL & NBA players are writing checks to pay the arena staff during postponed seasons.
πŸ”ΉChurches are holding online services & taking care of their members & community.
πŸ”ΉWomen & children are making homemade masks & handing out snacks to truckers.
πŸ”ΉBreweries are making sanitizer out of the left-over ingredients.
πŸ”ΉWe thought we couldn’t live without baseball, hockey, & NASCAR, or going to beaches, restaurants, or a bar.. Instead, we’re ordering take-out to help keep businesses alive.
What they didn’t count on was America saying, “Hold my beer, watch this.”
I think a Japanese Admiral in the middle of the Pacific said it best in 1941: “I think we have awakened a sleeping giant.”
Give us a little more time & we will be doing much better! Stop listening to the hysterical media.
We are one nation, under God.

Being grandparents is the best!!!

I am in love with this little guy like I never thought possible. Levi is absolute perfection! He's 4 months old now and I can't imagine life without him. His smiles and giggles are the absolute best. During this crazy Corona "quarantine" he is definitely the highlight of my day when I get to see him. We are so lucky to be only 10 minutes away.
