Week 7 – Support Your Local Businesses

Kayli had her last college class this week. I know it wasn’t what she had pictured for the end of her college experience. In two weeks she will graduate with no graduation ceremony. We will have to travel up to Berkeley to move her out of her college apartment by the end of the month, which is when her lease is up. I plan to take her graduation pictures while we are there. Even though there won’t be a graduation ceremony we can at least take pictures.

We have been supporting our favorite local small businesses to try to help keep them in business. We can order online and then stop by to pick it up while maintaining social distancing. Our favorite local brewery is Four Sons Brewing. We were excited to see our favorite food truck, Kaya’s Kitchen, taking online orders for pick-up at Four Sons last weekend. I had been missing their tator tots and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I continue to work out M-F at Mo-Mentum Fitness’s 8 am Zoom class. The Mo-Mentum instructors do a great job keeping you engaged in the workout even though you are not at the gym. It is nice to see all my workout friends each morning and gives me a reason to get up and get going each morning.

I love this time of the year when all the flowers are blooming. Here’s what my rose bushes in the front yard look like right now.

I did try a new recipe this week, but neglected to get pictures. I made homemade egg rolls. Everyone loved them and I will be making them frequently from now on.
