Quarantine week 9-ish

Maui is under stay at home orders until the end of June at least at this point (and 14 days quarantine for all arrivals and inter-island travel), but they are also opening things up so things are shifting. Stores are open although we didn’t go. Beaches opened yesterday and we did go (last pics)…where we went was not crowded so felt very safe but the hour drive to get there every other beach we passed as mobbed and the surf spots were mobbed which doesn’t make sense as we have been allowed to surf all along.

Lots of good this week, including:

• Social distancing with John and Jo on Mother’s Day

• A walk on the boardwalk, with the kids visiting with Lazy Cat

• A monk seal napping on our beach, so fun to see

• Bodie’s graduation in Colorado which we are sooooo sad to miss. We did make him some signs and a little movie to help celebrate. Hoping we will be able to celebrate properly in August

• Surf

• Early-morning duck pond (a new routine of ours)

• Friday after-school PJs and screen time (there are only 2 more weeks of school, so crazy)

• Bears vs Babies with kids teaming up against me (and winning)

• The aforementioned beach trip, so delightful

Also my job continues along, Jeff is making us lots of yummy meals and doing all the work of homeschool and running the household, we are watching “Bering Sea Gold” as a family (very entertaining), garden is progressing although a potion of what I planted was eaten, phone calls and Zoom and FaceTime with people we love…

All is well…just trying to stay positive and healthy and helpful…

Happy Sunday!
