We had a really nice chat. The weather was beautiful, we sat in the sun and its pretty sheltered so its not windy.
I left the Faust’s around noon, I had sent a text to the girls to ask if they wanted to come to the car parade and make signs and no one answered (they were inside) so I went home. 30 minutes later I got a text from Paige that said “sure”. So I told them I’d come back and get them at 1:15pm so that we could go into town. I cut the handles off of an Ivivva bag, because they’re blue, tied them onto the antenna on the truck, picked up the girls and got back to pick up Jay. Paige and Myah went in his car with him and Sophie and Avery were with me in the truck.
It was really nice to see how many of the staff at the facilities came out to see our parade. A lot of them were standing out front waving and some were crying. Avery said “That was really nice” and you could tell that she was really sincere, it was a nice moment and I think it was good for the girls to see the people who are working to help our aged and vulnerable community members.
I got an email from the Manager of Reachview yesterday with some photos of our gowns being worn by staff.
Yesterday or the day before in a press conference Trump was bragging that he was coming up with suggestions for the doctors to follow up on to see how the virus could be killed and that they were researching his suggestions. Two of them were to put UV light right in the body and to inject disinfectant to kill the virus. Asshat.
There have been many many many memes created and even the Trump supporting media is having to admit that this was ridiculous. Clorox had to put out a media message saying that they did NOT support the idea of injecting disinfectant and Steve said yesterday an Emergency Alert went out in some States advising people to not do this. Lemmings.
Saw this funny meme and shared it with our Peeps friend group.
After the parade we came home and I made brownies. We’re going to Faust’s for a BBQ and I’m on dessert and salad.
I made the little one to keep at home and the big one to take with us and then made some caramel sauce, even though I made the brownies with milk, dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of just dark. Its an amazing recipe for brownies from scratch. My go to. Hardly any flour and 10 eggs, this was a double batch, it makes a 9x13 and an 8x8.

We left around 4:30pm and played a game of Yahtzee outside with wooden dice, Jay won. Steve bbqed chicken thighs with a honey garlic sauce that Julia makes which is amazing, chorizo sausage and some jerk sausage I got from the Meat Merchant in town. The jerk sausage must have been chicken they were really flavourful, not hot at all but with a nice flavour. Brownies were delicious and the whole big pan got eaten! I took the big pan figuring I would leave any leftovers for them when we were done but there was only one brownie left!
We played some Super Tock after dinner, the girls are now up 14-11! We brought Ava and Myah home with us last night and the girls set up shop in the basement spare room so that they could play Mario Kart and we wouldn’t know how late they stayed up!
