This is a worrisome time but I am doing my best to find smiles where I can. The snow is almost gone, the sun is warmer and I am still walking my two miles outside every day. Technology keeps us connected and all of a sudden I have extra crafting and reading time!
My mother's facility is now enforcing a no visitors policy. I am grateful they are doing their best to keep the residents safe. We had our first face time phone call yesterday thanks to Elizabeth, the activities director. My mother had never seen such a thing and Erin and I kept laughing at her comments and reactions as she tried to figure it out. She kept pointing to me and telling Elizabeth...."Doesn't she look great? That's my daughter and she's 93! You would never know it!"
I do look great for 93! Hope you find a bit of joy each day......
Narelle has a wonderful sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches - hope you join us!
