Sunday – Wednesday, March 8 – 11, 2020
After time with Amy I called our friends Jeanne and Chip Frost from Melrose who were scheduled to stay with us Wednesday and Thursday, March 11 – 13. I had said I did not think it was wise for them stay with us. We did decide to have them, and their friends Cathy and Doug Yingling from Kings Point come for dinner. At first it was to be cocktails in the screen room and then we relaxed a bit and had them come inside for dinner and games on Tuesday. Wednesday, Chip and Jeanne came for lunch and we gave them a tour of Sun City Center. Wednesday I also volunteered for my Kindergarten class at the Ruskin Elementary School. That turned out to be the last time for the rest of the school year.

We went fishing with Pat and Dick Wulff at Little Harbor. We figured being outside with one person would be an alright thing to do. We also had dinner outside at Little Harbor. During that week, we did also go golfing that was outside. One day we also went to Ellenton Outlet Mall, which is outside, to do some shopping. This week was really focused on trying to figure out what we could do and still feel that we were being safe from the coronavirus.

Pat has had a cough that is allergy related but it has been keeping her awake at night. They had planned to go to Venice, FL to visit friends but because of the coronavirus they had decided to not go visit anyone else. I could tell they were also feeling like they would just like to be home given the current situation. So they decided it would be best if they head home before it gets difficult to travel. They left Friday morning and were home in Minnesota by Sunday at 4 PM. A quick trip. We were glad they were safely home.
Friday evening, we did go to the Concert Series dance. There were less people than usual, and we tried to dance at a distance since there were less people. We had left over New England Boiled Dinner, so we invited Jay and Carol to help us eat it up before the dance.

We attended the Oldies dance from 7 – 10 PM. Following the dance all of Sun City Center closed. We were glad to have the one last dance. We wondered if we would have any more dances during this season. We took a picture of all of us. At the dance we talked about some card games with just a few people. Since that time, we have realized that is not a good idea, so we have not had any direct contact with any of them.
