A few days ago we received a text from an old friend of Heidi's:
Are you are around this weekend? We sold our house at the lake and we have to go up to pack. DB would like to visit with you. Although she has not been on formal quarantine, her activities have been limited to TikTok in her room and running outside.
DB is Heidi's 16-year-old goddaughter, and every August, we usually spend a week with her and her older sister. Her style of quarantine sounded pretty safe to us, and, so on the last weekend of our summer break, we were thrilled to at last have a real, traditional, summer activity to break up our days.
And the last 24 hours have been a pleasant diversion of cooking and eating and watching Netflix, walking the dog, swimming, painting rocks and solving our most recent murder box.
All the things we've been doing anyway, but with a fresh perspective and another voice. What a difference it makes.

That's so nice you got to spend some time with someone special to you both!
