@Airborne_Frog And just a few miles down the road at another Family Dollar.
@Airborne_Frog Unfortunately this is type of violence is common in Flint. It is usually in the top ten cities nationwide for murders. I grew up not far from downtown and I have a brother that still lives in the city.
@Airborne_Frog This happened just 8 1/2 miles from where I live. Very sad...
@Lindy These are one of our first wild flowers to open in the spring. They are Virginia Spring Beauties (Claytonia virginica).
Marsh Marigolds at Seven Bridges Natural Area in Michigan
@GypsySongdancer They are in a floodplain. Many of the trees in this area look like this. It would be the perfect spot for a fantasy story!
@Lindy @Beanc I wish more were trying here. The county I live in has 1147 cases and 99 deaths so far. I retired from the post office. I was a window clerk and it was shocking the people who came in sick because they just had to mail a package off. Us window clerks were usually sick all winter long. Glad I am retired and missing this but I worry about my friends who are still working there.
@Lindy I have several trail systems I like to frequent for wild flowers including Jerusalem Artichoke. But right now I am being cautious about going out. A lot of people are out walking in groups and there are always a few who want to stop and talk. Very few following any safety guidelines. I have people who depend on me being healthy that I am being extra careful. I find the early morning time has the fewest people out right now so I make a run out here and there for my shots.
@AirRation Thank you!
I just talked with my daughter. The hospital moved her appointment up. When she arrived they met her at the door with Purell and a mask. The screening went well. She is good! They told her to self isolate herself from everyone else though. So doctors orders to work from home. When she needs to go to work to drop off packets, she is to go early in the morning before other staff arrives and leave quickly. She also has to wear a mask if she is out for any reason. She sounded more relaxed too!
@Kitty62862 That car is really cool! When my daughter was younger she tried not to appear to have a disability. She refused canes, walkers, wheelchairs and anything else that would help. Now that she is grown up she embraces all these things and loves that they give her added mobility.
@Kitty62862 I remember seeing this. These kids are all hero's! This is Mighty Miss Maya the day she took her first steps. I have been n contact with her family and my daughter and I are hoping to visit with them this summer. If all the health scares are gone!

@Kitty62862 Thank you! She is my bright light in the world. Her mom passed away shortly after my daughter was born so it has been just the two of us.
I will pass that along to her. I know she follows many people who live with CP. Her favorite is another Michigan girl. https://www.instagram.com/mightymissmaya/?hl=en
She is very well loved there. That always makes me feel better. The town she lives in is 400 miles off the road system. It's accessible only by air. My daughter was able to get additional insurance coverage that would cover a MediVac flight to Anchorage if needed. This is the street she lives on. It's one of the nicer areas of town.
@Anemone Right now it doesn't look like it. The school is closed now for two weeks but teachers are required to put together study packets and have them at the school. My daughter was able to get a waver to work on these from home and will drop them off after hours.
She has been amazed by her students parents. They are helping so she doesn't have to leave home if she doesn't have too. They have told her she is too important to their kids to get sick.
@Anemone Thank you! She is a high school teacher and her students are just now returning from spring break. Most who left the state have passed through the Seattle Airport and they visited areas up and down the west coast. My daughter has respiratory issues from problems she had as a preemie. She loves where she lives but it does take a toll on her health.
@flygande_ren Thank you. She is keeping me updated with phone calls and text messages. She has an appointment early afternoon her time. With a 4 hour time difference between us I will be pacing around for several more hours.
