Sheltering-in-place has been fun so far. For any of you with young kids, you might be able to relate to this! Fortunately not quite there yet, but literally had to set up a spreadsheet to keep track of all the assignments and zoom meetings... for six year olds.

We have light rain in my neighborhood today and so the idea of going out is less attractive. Yesterday I planted some rose bushes. I can see the trellis outside my kitchen. If I did a good enough job there will be a splash of color in the yard this summer. I have plenty to do but it’s boring when you have to spend so much time alone. Work is better because I’m doing a lot of things I don’t usually do, trying to help out here and there. I haven’t heard of any members being diagnosed. I hope you’re all OK
