April 30, 2020, the day Alabama ended the Corona Virus / Covid – 19 quarantine. Beaches reopened today with social distancing and limited hours. And it was glorious. Children running, adults so happy to say hello to strangers, noticing and enjoying the simple things we have all missed so much. We’ve all been through something together and you could feel it thick through the fresh air.
Jude has been hard at work doing extra chores around the RV and for my mom during quarantine. He’s worked SO hard to earn money that he’d like to purchase a guitar with. He’s washed the RV (an 8 hour job!), washed the truck, cleaned windows and a bunch of other small jobs over the last few weeks. He will reach his goal very soon!
We ventured out to the bay tonight for a picnic dinner. It was so nice to get out for a bit. There were a few people in the park but everyone kept their distance and seemed just as happy as we were to be “out”. These kids have been troopers about being quarantined. It hasn’t been easy but being at my mom’s house with lots of space and a huge porch has helped SO much!
