Day 17, Tuesday March 17th - No Saint Patrick's Party just the Convid-19 Crisis

We have been hunkered down with my brother and his wife in Bonaire, Ga, watching the world react to the Covid-19 out break.  Saint Patrick's day 2020 is a bust, no green beer, no corn beef and cabbage...just wall to wall news about the virus.

We have great camping accommodations here, and we will miss it when Randy and Sue move to Texas next month. 

I helped Randy move a few things into his moving POD but he has a lot more to pack before they leave the first week in April.

Tuesday we made on excursion on the scooter to the grocery store to get a few things.  We exercised our "social distancing" and got what we needed, sans any paper products, there were none. This picture is in the Kroger store, the canned goods isle is about half empty, not much selection but there was some left. There was plenty of other food such as meats, fresh produce and baked goods.

The weather here is pretty nice, Randy and I played a game of Croquet, he is mean, but I won anyway.  The girls said the bugs were too bad, they were a bit lively but tolerable. 

We have watched the news as they close businesses and services across the country. Unfortunately, I think the prudent thing to do is just go home before they close fueling stations and borders. 

Sue and Randy have been their usual great hosts and are not pushing us out, but we are feeling the pull of home given the current state of the world.

So Wednesday we plan to pick up stakes and head straight home.
