Clean a Room?

Hello,



Leroy and I have decided to clean a room from time to time. This would be part of our spring cleaning that seems to have disappeared into the air two or three years ago. Some months ago I cleaned the closet in our bedroom, expecting that we would soon clean the room. Somehow that never happened. So today is the day we will tackle that. We have removed everything from the room and will tackle the cleaning in the afternoon when both of us will be available.



This morning Leroy had an online meeting. Also the museum staff is to call all members to check on them and see how life is going. Leroy has 100 calls to make. He has made a few of them. He thought this morning he would call those in the Eastern Time zone only to learn that he had already called all those people. That put his schedule off.



While he was doing some other work, I called the people we visited in Guatape, Columbia. They are well although quarantined, in part because their son, from the United States, is now visiting. As soon as any virus cases were verified, the country of Columbia mostly shut down. Their area is a tourist area so it is very quiet. They are concerned about the people who depend on tourists to make a living. They also commented that all of the six political parties are working well together to get the best results for the most people.



I also had a long email from a Slovak friend. She also felt that Slovakia shut things down very quickly, hopefully it was soon enough to slow down the spread. She is fortunate to have a daughter who lives in a house with a garden so she can stay there and work in the garden. She lives in Bratislava and if in her apartment, would be quite confined to a small area.
