We have still been working hard to social distance in an effort to flatten the curve, as the authorities say. I am still sewing face masks. In fact, I sewed a couple unisex ones to keep in my purse so that if I see someone that needs one I can offer it to them. There was an (older)man that worked at Dollar Tree last week who was wearing a sleeping mask with a bandana wrapped around it. So I gave him one and he was grateful. We are still plugging away at homeschool but it is difficult without the library and fun field trips. I am grateful for a big yard and the creek on our property. I felt like this week was especially fun though. We came up with a project to bless our friends. Here is what we did. We learned about how spies use dead drops to pass something off to another spy when they can't be seen together. So we filled buckets that I got at Dollar Tree with treats and notes for 7 families in our area, who the kids were well acquainted with their kids. Then on Friday we pulled up to each of their houses, hid the dead drop and then texted them a clue to find it. It wasn't that hard to find them, but it was still fun for us! We played Mission Impossible music in the van and it was, like, one of two times that we have all loaded up into the big van in that last four weeks. It was so much fun!
I know that we have a different life style than a lot of you. I have been trying to think of how different some of your lives are. Some of our friends have their kiddos in lots of sports and those are all cancelled now. Some of them have jobs that they are doing from home while also trying to use what their kids' schools provide to educate their kids. Some of your lives are totally turned upside down. Some of you are single parents, completely deprived of adult interaction. Some people are single without kids, or elderly, living alone. It makes me wonder how everyone else is faring. What they are learning. While there is a lot that is stressful, I have heard of some sweet blessings in this. Some parents are relearning how great their kids are, after getting to spend more time with them. Some people are spring cleaning like fiends. Some seem to be deciding that maybe all of the events in their lives that they viewed as essential, weren't that essential. And some will appreciate events more when they get them back. Now for some pictures....
