It’s a situation out there! It is so crazy to me that I wasn’t even thinking about the coronavirus until two days ago, and now it is affecting almost everything in life! The only thing we still have going on that is a “normal” activity is church, and, even then, it is definitely scaled back.

Right now, the grocery stores are out of food. I have plenty to last for a while, but once it dies down I want to do a grocery trip for things that will last us for a while. So, without further ado, the meals I have planned for the next couple weeks (once I am able to get to the store, that is!).
