The first thing I saw this morning, was a parting of the gray clouds that have been ever present the past few days: a parting of the gray is a welcome sight ;-)
This little patch of turquoise sky was like a kiss from Heaven. I LIKE kisses :-D
As the gray clouds were slowly opening up, a teasing glimpse of a small spot of turquoise did a LOT for my psyche. I like color in my day – and turquoise is my birth month color :-D
The day's forecast told me to expect a 60% chance of more rain, so I've decided to treat myself to a pot of hazelnut flavored coffee, keep my eye on the parting of the gray clouds, and started preparing my Fall Bazaar cache with some {quarantine baby boom} items ;-)

I checked my FB Page first and caught up with messages before I started designing and crafting.
A LOT was happening in America today.
My phone was buzzing with updates …
An elderly woman in a hospital was killed by another patient who freaked out over social distancing (https://nypost.com/2020/03/29/elderly-woman-dies-after-being-shoved-for-not-social-distancing-sources/).
Armed vigilantes freaked out about out-of-towners showing up on their island, and chopped a tree down, trapping a man and his friends on his property to keep them all quarantined – people are losing their minds due to the hysteria governors are fanning due to conflicting medical reports put out (https://nypost.com/2020/03/29/armed-vigilantes-chop-down-tree-block-driveway-to-force-neighbor-into-quarantine/).
Earlier in the morning, as I was making the bed, I remember thinking that it is a shame, and a National disgrace, that a country which claims to be a Christian Nation, would have churches closing their doors nationwide – bowing to governors instead of honoring Elohim. And where are the Christians: WHY are they not boldly refusing to be trapped in their homes instead of gathering to worship Elohim and pray for healing … for themselves, their loved ones, their country?
It made me righteously mad!
Americans – Christian Americans – have THE RIGHT given them BY Elohim, and BY our Constitution and Bill of Rights to worship our God anytime we want to … wherever we want to gather. The government has no right to stop us.
And I remember thinking that I will have to seriously reconsider the depth of faith of those churches locally that have issued ‘stay at home!’ notices, and closed their doors. The world is watching Christians to see if we believe what we preach. It embarrasses me, and makes my heart cry that what the world is seeing is cowards who do not trust the God they claim to trust to keep them safe through this virus thing.
Pastors (and I use that term loosely concerning career minded minions afraid to stand bold for Elohim), being backed down by governors who are using this coronavirus to further their own selfish aims and sew up their political campaigns … and allowing themselves to be hamstrung by fear – and foisting that fear off onto their congregants is shameful. Fear has NO PLACE in a Christian’s life.
The world is watching.
Do they not believe what Scripture tells them? Are churches just social clubs, after all?
Scripture tells us that Elohim “has not given us the sprit of fear; but of power, of love, of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
AND THEN … my phone alerted me to another newsflash update: it is reported that a man named Tony Small, in Louisiana, openly defied his state governor; and held Sunday services as usual :-D
GOOD!
That bit of news lightened my heart, and fortified my spirit.
The 1st Amendment of our American Constitution, and our Bill of Rights … gives us – The People – the right to gather together – unimpeded, if that be our choice to do so; to worship our God, to encourage one another to be strong in faith and hope in these hard times; that important and LEGAL RIGHT prohibits the making of ANY LAW pertaining to the establishment of federal or state religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging (curtailing, making difficult, or halting) the freedom of speech, infringing the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peacefully assemble, or prohibiting the petitioning of a governmental redress of grievances.
cuomo is campaigning hard in his brown-nosing appeal to become biden’s coveted vp pick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVMc7I8r0mY).
WTH??? Just the other day he was on media sources CRYING that his mother would die because there are NO ventilators available in NY! He was recently bitching angrily, saying that he had to “make choice between who lives and who dies because President Trump has NOT SENT ANY ventilators or masks” … and now, he admits that he has them – but he doesn’t want to use them yet???

This is SO TYPICAL of socialists – whip the masses into a frantic hysteria, and then sit back and play innocent.
This schmuck is campaigning; plain and simple. He’s bullshitting the obamanite lemmings to score campaign points. It’s shameful!
The rumor mill has been leaking for weeks that pelosi, cuomo, and Inslee are all being seriously considered as biden’s vp choices after biden consulted obama.
pelosi has campaigned hard, for 3-1/2 years: every one of her ‘sure wins’ have been losing campaigns – the latest was her disastrous impeachment grab and her bully attempt to run the Senate.
cuomo has been campaigning hard for at least a week.
And now, here in the PNW – inslee – showing his socialism colors, has jumped into the game a few days ago with a state-wide shut-down, his stupid lgbtq bill that is pure political bullshit; and now he is hoping to score demoncrat points by issuing his ILLEGAL nazi demand for neighbors to snitch on neighbors for county favors. Socialists, communists, and nazi's employ these tactics.
WA STATE NOW A FULL-BLOWN SOCIALIST STATE – inslee, being the lemming demoncrat that he is, is following party orders to instill socialist pressures.
inslee has seriously undermined our rights, and actively promotes the far-left agenda. He needs to be VOTED OUT!
It may have been mean of me, but I did bark out a laugh when the newsflash about that moron, kathy griffin, popped up: it appears that kathy griffin has been struck with coronavirus symptoms. KARMA dimwit ((BOOM!)).
That mouthy moron thought it funny to post pictures of herself holding up a mock bloody head of President Trump, arrogantly and mean-spiritedly calling for his death (blindly obeying the demoncrat hatred) … and now, she is bitching … and STILL attacking President Trump, because she “was scared” she “may die”?

Death doesn’t seem to be tickling her funny bone anymore (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-03-26/kathy-griffin-coronavirus-test).
Shaking my head at all the cluelessness being highlighted in today’s updates, I finally shut the phone off, and sht FB down for a bit: I can only take so much nonsense anymore.
I kept working on my design … while wearing comfy PJs ...
Rib on Boatneck Sweater
Many hours later, and several Youtube ‘Rosemary and Thyme' sitcom movie videos later, I had finished both the front and back of my design:
Body completed on MOD Boatneck Sweater; F & B worked exactly the same. 1 YR sizing
As I was rolling them up to store until I make up the sleeves; possibly tomorrow, I got notifications that two singers had died from coronavirus complications today …

And ‘Rock-n-Roll’ songwriter/singer, Allen Merrill also died of coronavirus complications –
When Bob and I were dating, we’d go to Stella tavern sometimes to play pool; Bob would hand me a handful of quarters to play the jukebox and pull tabs.
I’d always punch this song’s number in, and dance my way across the floor to where Bob was racking the cue balls; singing and dragging Bob into a dance with me ;-)
Good times.
Hot summer nights.
Jukebox jumping.
The loud smack of the cue balls being blown all over the table.
Bob laughing while I danced around him with my pool stick singing, “I love rock-n-roll; put another dime in the jukebox baby …”: and whooping when I scored with a game win.
