I’m also really interested to know what you are all learning or excited about right now. I know things are not “normal” by any means and that there’s a lot of crappy stuff going on at the moment. But what are some of the silver linings that perk up your day? My cousins in Tennessee and Florida have been sharing their animal exploits; one has a mini flock of ducks and geese, and the other has a bunch of chickens and a black & white cow named Bailey. My dad and his friends are what I like to call “supermodel-ers” — they make precise miniature models of mostly WWII aircraft, among other things like tanks & ships. He and my stepmom also volunteer as Big Brother & Big Sister to a pair of young siblings in their town. Mom is all about singing! She has always loved to sing, and is very active in her church choir and volunteer community. During Covid, she has enjoyed dropping off care packages to some of her less mobile congregation members. All of our regular activities have been modified by social distancing and the obligatory mask, but hopefully things will return to some state of normal soon. I’m thankful that my family are doing well; the boys are branching out into their own paths and I couldn’t be more proud.
