Covid Hitting in Syracuse

Jessica first and then some of the kids and then Elessia have all been dealing with Covid this past 10 days or so.  We sent pizza one night and got some groceries for them another night, but weren't any help past that.  The nature of this illness and working with so many senior missionaries--we are trying to be as careful as we can be.  I am sure we will eventually get it, but hopefully in a situation in which we haven't exposed other missionaries or anyone.  It was hard to know that they were all sick without being able to really help.  The kids haven't been too sick, and Jessica and Elessia are improving but it has taken awhile.  I told her it is "funnier?" to be sick without little kids around--something to look forward to in the future--like 20 years from now.

Jessica had sent me a shopping list that included ramen noodles and Mac and Cheese, but both of those items along with most pastas were not on the shelves at WalMart that evening.  Either is ginger ale which has been out of stock for awhile.  Ginger ale is my preferred soft drink currently if I don't feel well but both ginger ale and saltine crackers have been gone from our local stores over the past few weeks.  Life in a pandemic!!!
