Today our governor issued some sort of "Stay at Home" order, but I'm not entirely clear on what it means. All non-essential businesses must close, so no more antiquing, but it seems that restaurants and, more importantly, coffee shops are essential businesses. So are car repair shops, so this morning Travalon was able to take his car into the shop. Right after lunch we did something that might have been illegal: we met up with Rich, Kathbert, and Pete the Sailor Man at Mr. Why's grave. We were supposed to do this on the First, which was the actual anniversary of his death, but we forgot, and then Rich went to Hawaii for ten days, and then we reset our clocks from Standard Time to Crazy Time, so it was only now when we all were able to get together. After that Travalon and I took a hike on the boardwalk on Lake Waubesa, since it is our understanding that we are still allowed to hike outside, as long as we stay six feet away from other people. From the boardwalk I could see a hill I had never noticed before, so I looked on the map and found it. It's called Liberty Mound, and it is just east of town, so we drove to it and then explored some back roads. Hard to believe that so close to an urban area there are places that are so back country! Since we were east of town, we stopped at the Shoenstatt Shrine, and it was open, so we prayed a Divine Mercy Chaplet. Our church's adoration chapel is still open, so I went there for my regularly scheduled hour, and something was going on up in the church. I could hear the Mexican priest talking in Spanish. Private Masses are still allowed, so it must have been something like that. Anyway, here is a picture of the inside of the Schoenstatt Shrine:
And here is a big light-up rosary on the outside of the building next to the shrine!
