Annabelle's Blog: Quarantine week 18

Things are really changing and not for the better regarding corona. States are closing back down and their hospitals are full with very sick patients. I read that Pennsylvania is closing bars that do not offer dining because they have another surge. I think bars & restaurants are going to be our downfall, they have seen it all around the south, people going inside to cool down from the heat. In my opinion, indoor dining & drinking is just irresponsible during this time and we should have never opened them. According to experts it is where you take the biggest risk of spreading the virus. We have not gone out for a meal since March 13th and it's going to stay that way. I'm not even comfortable with outdoor dining yet.

Because of the surge in other states we have started to pull back on activities with others again this week for Annabelle. Brian & I have talked a lot about the health risks and her mental & social needs. Unfortunately, there is no black and white answers so we just have to move forward by following our gut instinct.

On to the fun. We finally started getting some much needed rain this week. On the bad side, it all came at once and backed up the storm drains. The kids (and dads) had some fun jumping in the pools of water which drained quickly after the storm. Lots of indoor fun during storms this week, we even snuck in some therapy & school work :-)

We have been riding the golf cart and swimming almost everyday. We really can't complain, we have amazing neighbors who are also being cautious and it's been a beautiful summer.
