I have had a crazy couple of weeks--just really busy--lots of brain work, emails, planning sessions. It's my first year leading our 4-H group as the volunteer leader....in the middle of Covid! Everything takes more work logistically whether you are online or in-person. I am doing virtual meetings for now and hope in the future we will be able to do some in-person events.
I am so over Covid--some dear friends are in the hospital with pneumonia due to Covid. We were going to try to go on a day trip, but that may not be happening. Ugh!!! Just when you think you've adapted to the situation.
On a brighter note...
Michael has been taking swim lessons at the gym for the past 8 weeks to improve his stroke. His teacher is really awesome!!! We call her Tera! He's met a couple of new friends in various activities the last couple of months, so that has been wonderful!
Volunteering at the 4-H poultry show
Last weekend, we spent a lot of time getting rid of quite a bit of stuff and making virtually nothing at our yard sale. BUT it's all gone and we donated the leftovers to a couple of worthy causes.

Michael has decided this is what we need...
Michael has been working on his own board game for a while. He realized he could order a blank board game set from amazon to make his game look more professional. When it arrived this week, he started to work on the components.
