Coronavirus Craze

It's insane to me how in so short of time the world has changed so dramatically. At the end of 2019 and dizzy showed up in China by the beginning of 2020 it showed up in America and by March of 2020 the whole country is pretty much on lockdown with social distancing and staying home.

We're still finding ways to entertain ourselves and occupy our time and there is no shortage of school work and busy work being supplied by the district as we learn from home. Instrument lessons continue even if I'm the one teaching them, but somehow life is more relaxed, simpler, better, filled with the love and spirit of the Lord.

It's amazing how in a crisis the promises of the gospel and Christ's blessings become first and forefront in your mind and provide you the peace and comfort and happiness you need.

Bring Her Here

With the onset of coronavirus, the canceling of group gatherings, and taking colleges online, my niece Haley came to stay with us for a bit. A bit turned into a bit more, but it's been nothing but fun. We tried to have as many adventures as we could before things progressed into shutting down full fledged. And we're hoping that once they lift some of the orders will be able to go out and about and have some more fun.
