We’re managing staying at home pretty well – but sometimes we just have to get out of the house. Mostly, its a walk or bike around the neighborhood. But some days a walk or bike around the neighborhood just doesn’t cut it – so we go on a little adventure. This little adventure is a mile from our house and we didn’t even know it existed until recently: A little walk along the Salt River at sunset. We skipped rocks, chatted while we sat on the banks of the river and admired the wild flowers in bloom.
It was a change of scenery which is sometimes all we need.
This is a beautiful spot. We also live in Mesa. Where is the “trailhead” for this path?
So glad to hear your all safe and have found somewhere to go.
I’m on week 8 of total isolation (live alone, disabled and elderly)
it’s so good to still read what your all up too and see the photos.
Your my way of breaking the monotony of each day.
I’ve followed you for a few years and occasionally commented. Now with so much craziness, anxiety and uncertainty in the world it makes an even bigger difference checking into your blog and seeing a level of `normality’. I’m in my 8th week of “shutdown” and being disabled, more mature and widowed with no family it really is isolation. Seeing your pictures takes me out of my home and seeing your children grow reminds me why this world is worth fighting for.
Your meme made me smile slightly, my BF is in NY where they are losing all power 5-10 hrs a day every day which makes it hard to stay in touch 🙁
Hope all the Grandparents are okay. Your children might like this, my BF and I started ending phone calls like this in early 90’s (no video chats then!)
Both people on phone do this at same time (or on computer)
1) put phone between shoulder and ear
2) wrap left arm diagonally across your body
3) wrap right arm diagonally across left arm
4) squeeze gently – you’ve just shared a hug
Some of my friends have adopted this to do with friends and family during this time of social distancing. They do it across street and yell, “hey, have a `Lucy’ hug 🙂
Stay safe, stay well, stay sane
I hope you’re doing well! Our home is full of life and energy and at times it can be tiring and exhausting – but I know it would be harder to have a quiet house right now. Sending a virtual hug from Arizona – hang in there!
