it seems like the news of the coronavirus came to us very slowly at first. it didn’t hit me until we were at ikea and saw people wearing face masks that i felt uneasy. jerry and i are taking retirement pretty seriously now, so we decided to just stay in for a month and let it pass. hmmmm. we saw everyone and told them of our crazy plan.
our calendar has gotten a lot less busy since february-
my last venture out was to the ‘grocery outlet’ march 13th. people were starting to hoard by then. we got what we needed without much trouble.
saturday was my first venture out in 29 days. and the virus hasn’t passed yet. hmmmmm. how naive i was. the world is a different place now. and i wanted to see for myself. so we took a short drive along the coast from san pedro to palos verdes saturday.
not many cars but people were driving so fast
gaffey street, part of my childhood
i should have rolled down the window
our first and only stop was at a beach we went to all the time with the kids. we couldn’t go into any of the beaches or parks. even pullouts on the road were barricaded.
palm trees – hence royal palms
not many sailboats out
or people
looking at the sailboats and the cargo ship in the distance
i see a heart
if you look closely you can see the small plane (dot) that was practicing stunt maneuvers. i caught the sun behind the cloud too
its hard taking pictures from a moving vehicle. here are a few that turned out ok
wayfarers chapel.
they probably don’t mind the shelter in place order
these people either
the hills were alive with with wild mustard. here’s a sample
it was great to get out on such a nice day. we did have a order to pick-up at ralphs on the way home. as we waited for our order to come out, 15 minutes, the long line of people barely moved going in the store.
to top off the trip, we got toilet paper in our order.
stay tuned
love, jilly
oh yeah, we got burritos and tamales from diana’s to go
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us
