Social Distancing

I'm pretty good at this, but I do need some interaction with other people. We haven't gone anywhere for several days. I haven't gotten as much knitting done as I should have though. I guess phone and internet make socialization easier than it was years ago.

The little great grandkids are home from school until the end of the month (at least). I think the teachers spent last weekend putting together packets of work to keep them busy during that time. Lexi came home for spring break and thought she was going back to do online classes from the dorm for two weeks and then back to normal. However, UK decided to do online classes for the rest of the spring semester, and to close the dorms. Now they will need to go back to Lexington to get her stuff out of her room. At least now she can help with the little ones. She'll probably have less trouble with the common core math that Stephen's mother. It's a foreign language to those of us over a certain age.

Alyssa is adamant that I need to stay home. I think she's going to buy a couple of things Dominic and I need and have Lexi drop them off to us when she comes this way to visit her grandparents tomorrow. (They're only 12 miles from me instead of the 38 Alyssa is.)

I just updated my 'cast of characters' for the kids' current ages. Actually Lexi won't be 19 until June, but I don't feel like going back to change it. She voted in the Illinois primary yesterday - first time. I guess that makes her an adult now. And Devin is now driving!
