Quarantine Update

I finally got my bike working well, after 16 months of nothing but trouble. I've only ridden it a few times, but it now feels like the bike I was hoping for when I bought it.

I started playing Dungeons and Dragons with the rest of the family. It's fun, but surprisingly confusing!

Elizabeth's boots were falling apart. I repaired them with epoxy, and then Elizabeth decorated them with paint and home-made stickers.  This is something kids do these days.

Here are Suzanne (foreground) and her bestie Anika (background) hanging out at a social distance. Across the street is their friend Lily. They hang out for hours talking, drawing and playing games  at a distance.

A closer look at Suzanne's down-the-street encampment.

Our friend Mark gave the girls a couple of marionettes from his childhood. Suzanne took to them instantly, particularly the billy goat she named Rudolph. Unfortunately, the aged toy lost a leg after just a couple of days of use and now needs repair.

The ladies hanging out in the backyard of our friends the Wheeler-Kays. We kept our distance, but enjoyed the visit.

The Wheeler-Kays have a trampoline!

We get periodic visits from Pat Gaughan. Always good to talk with him.

Elizabeth's interest in witchcraft and magic has rekindled. Here she is studying on the subject while neglecting her actual schoolwork.

Elizabeth has also spent a lot of time learning the art program on our computer. She draws on it for hours at a time.

Suzanne likes to get stronger so she can beat up Dad.

Simpsons, Simpsons, and more Simpsons!
