slowly but surely

 Bob and I are taking small little trips out of the house. We didn't catch covid from our grand son... lucky us.

But his parents did... His case was much milder than theirs. He is well again and masked, he can go and take his make-up finals at the high school on Thursday.

His parents are still stuck at home...

Luckily our granddaughter lives away from home in an apartment... has had covid, two vaccinations and the booster... she became the person who went and bought food etc for everyone who was quarantined and left it on the front steps!!

In the midst of all this quarantining our daughter's toilet had a malfunction. Not the easy one where you replace the flapper but a more complicated one. Bob had a replacement part in his "stash" so he dropped it off on her front steps after checking to make sure she had any necessary tools... AND she fixed it!! BTW her husband has absolutely no mechanical skills... Bob made sure ALL the kids ( male and female) could change the oil on a car, change a tire, fix toilets and so on. I made sure they could cook, do laundry and run the dishwasher!

Our postponed Christmas get together will be January 6th !!

Hope all will recover swiftly.

Life skills are so important, good for you teaching your children all of that.

Blessings~

I guess Covid is teaching us how to be flexible.
