Day 3: Daily Giving

All is still well for this family of introverts. We were made for a time such as this.

We are also doers. We don't like feeling helpless or like we can't help, so we have committed to find a way to serve every day--even if we can't leave our home. 

Yesterday, once of our neighbors who works for the VA said they had closed the hospital to visitors and asked for cards. Issa and I were on that, and Evan helped by being our runner as we planned poorly and needed supplies or whatnot:

 We made this cute spring cards:

We have been saving Grandma Bower's button collection for special projects, and I think she would love knowing that they were used for this purpose. We made 12, and we found out this morning that there are ten patients in the Hospice wing that will receive these cards. We have now committed to making them a card a week until the hospital reopens to visitors.

Brad and I did our weekly grocery shopping at 7 this morning. We were able to find everything we needed while running into virtually no one. I think this may also become part of our new normal.

We have also started  Quarantine Quote Board on the front door. I'm sure there will be some classics by the time this is over. Leave it to our crew to find the humor in any situation--I wouldn't want to be stuck with anyone but them.
