Quarantine Week 11
5/29/2020
Another week has come and gone.
We had lots of hot weather this week
and spent a lot of time outside.
Helping Daddy put dirt and flowers into our pots.
The little boys enjoyed their first watermelon of this season.
And this little guy tried fishing, in our ditch :-)
We ate supper outside at least once this week.
And all of the kids find themselves swinging on this saucer swing throughout the day.
We caught more chipmunks this week.
The kids and I visited a nearby camp one day this week. This is the camp where Daddy and Mommy met, so it is special and dear to our hearts. What fun to introduce our kids to the place now!
Inside, we played with toys and puzzles but I don't think we played any board games this week.
We huddled in the basement one evening while a tornado warning was issued. It didn't last long and all was well.
My husband continued to work on our bathroom project - putting up window trim and the shower curtain rod.
Looks good.
We attended a surprise birthday for a family member turning 16. She received a car as a gift. A memorable party!
The highlight of the week was my husband and I celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary! We got away for one night to a nearby hotel. We pulled my wedding dress out of 20 years of storage and tried to re-create a fun wedding picture.
And we enjoyed a date night and a chance to just talk about life, love, and 20 years... without the chatter of the children interrupting.
This week we saw more people face-to-face. A few friends came by with anniversary cards/balloons/greetings. It was nice to get real hugs again! Our state is on stage 3 of 5 in reopening from the coronavirus lockdown. Most restaurants are open at 50% capacity in their dining areas. But people here seem to be cautious about getting out again, taking it slowly. We are regularly hearing of businesses (big name franchises and small local shops) that are closing for good, not able to recover from the economic toll of this year.
But the number of virus cases in our area remains low and is steadily increasing but not surging. We've been in the reopening stage for one month now. Our church remains closed, but some are opening now. Playgrounds are closed but will open in the next stage. But county fairs and many local pools are cancelled for Summer 2020.
We'll see what next week holds!
