Porch Concert at Friends

 Based on the success of our event, our friends hosted Vinyl Station on their front porch. Bobbins had a grand time chatting everyone up in the front yard.

Tower Garden

Bobbins found one of these online, from someone associated to St. Mary's, and decided to get it. They're not cheap but they do produce a lot of greens for you, fresh & organic. We've had some great lettuce & kale. The green beans have been delicious, although too small in number. We did a watermelon. It is fun to watch the produce grow.

Homeschool Lunches

Since the kids' school was closed, they did their schoolwork at home with us. Owen's class used Google classroom, but the girls' teachers just sent home worksheets, assignments, and textbooks. I was home many of the weeks and worked mostly with Owen. We found a decent rhythm after the first couple weeks. Bobbins made the kids still wear their uniforms. She also eased the burden by collecting the free lunches at the public schools, which were distributing them each morning for pick-up. There was a lot of sugar and junk, and A LOT of milk, but it was "free." This is Owen eating one of the Chinese food lunches.

Christo's Birthday

 

You can see his distinct way of crawling.

Porch Concert

 To help our friend Matthew, who makes a living off music, we had him over to our front porch for a fund-raising concert. He basically lost his livelihood with the lockdown. This was a fun way to help him out and provide some much-needed socialization. It was pretty cool to have a rockstar playing live at our front door. It was pretty warm, but it's Arizona, what you gonna do.
