I'm happy to hear you and your family are doing well. <br />This is a great lesson in resourcefulness, instead of running out to the store to get something, create it. Your granddaughter is learning a valuable lesson from all of you. I hope everything continues to stay the course. <br />Thank you, for reading and contributing with your wonderful perspective of life.<br />Take care! Stacy T.

One worked in a school district and also at a restaurant. She has found a lot of time on her hands and is happy work with the horses again. The other is a CNA at a Children's hospital and lives in town. She's on hold for a bit until the hospital needs her, so she and my granddaughter have been deep cleaning their apaprtment. This weekend, though, my granddaughter is visiting me and finally working on a sewing project from a year ago. This makes me happy as I've really wanted to teach her how to sew. <br />I'm an old homeschooling mom and in those days we kept very busy with projects and also baking. The baking ceased when we all matured because, well you know about those calories…but I've resurrected the baking for isolation mainly to remind my daughters and granddaughter that we can manage without every finished product from the store. This weekend we made cinnamon rolls but soon we'll do sour dough bread and yeast rolls. It's been fun teaching my family how to make simple breads. And last night everyone put their cell phones away and we played UNO for hours. Haven't done that in years. We all agree that slowing down and sharing skills and time together is an unexpected benefit of this current problem. I'm pleased to have this time to encourage my daughters and granddaughter in things that have become lost, such as sewing, baking, and playing games. Blessings to you.
