We are through weeks 8 and 9 of the shutdown and case numbers are dropping. After 34K new cases in MA for weeks 6-7, weeks 8-9 had 16K for a total of 91K. We finally lost our #3 status in US cases to Illinois and then California passed us. Our county dropped from 7,300 new cases to 2,700, totaling 20K. Our town had 45 new cases summing to 302. The remaining school year is only 4 more weeks and summer camps have been cancelled left and right, leaving us wondering how to manage the summer months.
Erin attended her first virtual birthday party. The family arranged for each kid to receive a make-your-own-pizza kit. Cool idea!
Grandma Lu received her first haircut in the Taft Ave salon
Orioles were to be found everywhere and we consumed 2 boxes of Oreos
Not all iPad time is a brain drain. There is drawing
and photo altering
and very strange symmetry operations
Grandma Joan's stylish caps and masks arrived
For the dry stretch of Memorial Day weekend, we set up the backyard tent
and creekstomped for the first time of the year because
finally the temp hit 80 degrees
Our local ice cream place was open for takeout
and our favorite fancy dinner restaurant announced permanent closure. We took their offer to patrons to empty their larder of charcuterie and wine
We finally relented on the girls pleas for backyard entertainment. Apparently the hosta aren't company enough. Trampolines and treehouses wouldn't fit, but this hanging "tree pod" did the trick.
