Soooo many great posts to choose from this week!!!

Just a Note: I do want to let you know that we will be driving home from South Dakota next Wednesday, so there will be a Share Your Style but I will probably only choose a few features, just depends on connectivity where we are. Thank you! We are heading up to see our son and DIL and little Milo, who will be 6 1/2 weeks then. We are also taking half of the garage with us, lol! We are bringing Peter’s childhood things, books, t-shirts and such that were packed out of our house in 2015. The SUV is FULL!!! 👊👏👪 Oh, and the pole vault poles… On the roof!

This is Peter Chapman receiving his First Place blue medal winning ribbon from CIF State Championships in June 2012. You can see his winning height in the background. The poles we are carrying up are almost 17′ long. He is coaching now on the side ~ like father like son. Oh, and Peter won 30 years almost-to-the-day from when Charles took 2nd Place (first loser, as they like to joke!) because he was just too sick to continue vaulting and physically couldn’t vault his best. Charles jump over 15′ at that CIF State Meet in 1981. Very proud of them both!! 💞

I asked to be tested for antibodies this week for the COVID-19 virus since I was sooo sick last January/February (really, a full month!). I tested negative but I found out that the antibodies are present 2 weeks after one recovers, so… If you’ve just been ill, you can donate plasma!!! The doctor thinks that they (antibodies) have dropped off, if I did have the virus. All of the symptoms were there except for being hospitalized and on oxygen/ventilator. Keep us in your prayers that little Milo will stay healthy.

It’s a quick social distancing visit for maybe 20 min to an hour only for dinner Thursday evening and Friday evening. We knew this going in, so I won’t be able to hug Milo (yet!) but that vaccine will be out soon, then watch out M for many hugs and tickles and cuddles from Gramma!!!

The kids are naturally worried (the media hype isn’t helping…) and could use extra prayer warriors praying protection for all their health, thank you!

And here are this week’s featured posts…

Thelma of Thelma’s Days shared her version of a facemask (Don’t you just love these “masked bandits??”) in this post ~ Face Masks for COVID-19. Love these and also Debbee’s masks which I shared previously on SYS!
