Covid-19 Week #7--GG's 90th, flower planting, home projects


Jeff guitaring to decompress.  Too many screens and 8th grade math students.  :)




Got a little antsy and planted tomatoes outside on April 26--yikes!  We'll see how they do! So eager to see green around here this spring!


Sunflowers and marigolds in the windows this year.






Some of Jeff's students from Mead Alternative went on to graduate from On-track this year.  Bittersweet celebrating.


We took Nessa to the farm for the day to meet G'ma and Papa!  She LOVES the farm!




Nessa meets Mully!  Jeff somehow ended up on a solo trip to his parents' and said that Nessa and Mully weren't always as friendly as the picture shows...apparently Mully tried to show his dominance and Jeff thought Nessa would be scarred forever.  They're the same size in these pictures!


And G'ma turned 90!!! We all took turns going to visit her the week of her birthday.  We brought plants for her flower beds and tacos for her bday dinner.















Actual text I sent Jeff.  Hahahaha! New dog owners!


We followed SomeGoodNews, who did some fun things to help us feel united during this weird time!









More Sandy time!  And look at Matt's pond!  He loved this Covid project. 



Jeff decided it was time to level the cement pad out front.  He researched and rigged this crazy setup and got it leveled in no time!


That front step was so large for all the years we lived in the house!  It was almost stumbling to walk up the stairs after it was fixed!
Then he contemplated leveling the back pad...




We planted Granny's flowers and had little porch visits.

Quarantine Week 6? I'm losing track...

Sent G'ma Joan's quilt to her in the mail...another Covid Birthday! Ugh!


Hiked with the V's while we crate-trained Nessa for a spell.  She's not supposed to go out much until she gets her shots finished up...


Nessa LOVES Dexter, and they spend quality time together at the back fence.


Online church services were the thing on Sunday mornings!  Grace and Josh had Zoom SS classes!





The Eccleshalls found us one Sunday morning "going to" church.
 




More baths...until we learned that too many baths could dry out her skin.  Phew!  Those are hard work!


DutchBros--we must've needed an outing.  :)




Micah is learning to cook his own eggs!




Lots of piano "noodling" going on here.  Practice and online lessons, too!  :)



Jeff and Jon snuck away to ride bike a time or two...
Thanks to Ang and the family for the bday shirt! :)


Jeff's lap might be her favorite place to nap.  Smart girl, picking the lap that holds still the longest.




Josh had soccer practice via zoom--here he's listening to Mo as he describes the drill to do next.




Josh and Dad got to go on a bike ride and Micah's face is again a mess.

Lots of tasty dinners during quarantine--and grocery pick up!


Cousin Millie sent a hug in the mail, and we took a pic to send in return.









Katie came over with a bottle of wine!  So nice to have her live close by...
