Apr 5 - Tuscaloosa, AL and Lake Lurleen State Park

  Now that we have decided to stay at Lake Lurleen State Park for the entire month of April, as it is a great place to self-isolate,  we have begun to explore the best flow of the day.  Today we needed to do laundry, badly.  So we found a good one, that limits the number of people inside at a time, and won't let you remain inside while your clothes wash or dry.  They also won't let you fold your clothes inside, and wipe down the equipment regularly.  Even so, we wore our disposable gloves.  We found a nice shady spot across the street, in an empty parking lot to wait. 
  I had done some research online about how to make your own face masks, since you can't find them in any stores around here.  So, I started hand sewing two.  We'll see how they come out. 
  We went back to the RV for lunch and returned into town to set up our "mobile office".  Our requirements are shade, isolation, and near a public bathroom.  We found an empty strip mall near the WinnDixie grocery store.  It has a large covered patio on the front and the side, so was perfect for our needs.  We set up our camp chairs, our collapsible table and opened our computers.  Voila! Our home office.  It worked perfectly for us.
  I did my family Hangouts call.  It is really, really nice to be able to "see" everyone, including my newest granddaughter, whom I haven't even met yet.  We did take-out dinner, and then played a game of Fox and the Forrest, a two-player card game that Aaron & Anica gave us for Xmas.  Very interesting and challenging--a twist on the usual trick-taking games.
