Speaking of sons, I got to see mine today and he brought the grandbaby along for the ride. I went to Costco early this morning and had supplies for them and they had some packages delivered to my house to pick up. Didn't get to hold him or anything but first time I've seen him since Christmas! He still is looking a lot like his mama, but I'm seeing more of his daddy in him now. Mostly more in the expressions than the features. Was just what we call a "loot and scoot" visit, but I think it was good for dad and son to let mom have some time to herself, they are all in a tiny little 1 bedroom apt. Son is working from home and Ikea where DDiL works has been shut down for three?? weeks now.

Didn't get much sewing done but did a tiny bit on those stars.

The trip to Costco was quite the adventure. I got there just at 8:00 which is the open early time for seniors. The line was all the way around the parking log. I mean -- all the way around! But that was because the store hadn't opened yet and we were spaced 6 feet apart even without prompting. It started moving pretty well but I was still in line for probably at least a quarter mile and 20-30 minutes. 5 years or so ago I was having a lot of health issues and couldn't have done it. Just driving to/through/home from Costco was usually more than my ability, not to mention bringing stuff in. It felt good that it was no problem and I was capable of not only doing the standing/walking/shopping and even putting away and then had to go to Safeway because Costco had no toilet paper (and that was one of the things the kids were hoping to get). Safeway only had a couple packs of the largest most expensive Charmin but I got one of those and split it with the son.
