^ Honestly, I don't know who this kid is. :)
Dio, I believe you said something about not having met your daughters boyfriend yet. Your daughters boyfriend may have a charmingly pleasent accent from one of those Northern European countries, dont know which one right enough, maybe that will explain why I alwyas take you side? (Except on Corona) :)


















Just kidding. :) Maybe?

Hi everyone, hope you all are well. :)

We're doing ok here. Staying home. We have gotten out to walk the doggies a couple times. The first time we stuck close to home and did not see anyone. Yesterday we went over to a park because it has a nice walking path. There were other people there, I was dismayed to see people letting their kids play on playground equipment. (I suppose that is easy for me to say with no little ones in the house anymore but c'mon...) And there were more than a few gatherings of people in the picnic areas. :rolleyes: But the walking path was pretty clear, and easy enough to move off into the grass to increase the distance between when we did pass anyone.

Online school is going well so far. Kids are happy to have something to do I think. They have all been right on top of it. So far. ;)

I did send the kids over to their old elementary school this morning. They had strict instructions to be mindful of other people and stay a good distance away. The district needs to cut back/eliminate as much as possible, throwing away food so they are offering free breakfast and lunch to all students. It is all set up outside, they just walk up and get their bagged lunch and come home to eat it. I thought it was only for the kids who were on the free/reduced cost lunch program so we had not been doing it. But Brandon told me yesterday it was open to all students and to start sending the kids because they were still throwing away a ton of food every day. He works for the district, so he knows. They had spaghetti today. :)

I do have a question, if you guys wouldn't mind giving me opinions. We are coming up on a month until Evan's graduation. It still has not been canceled or postponed. I think it probably will be. But as of now, it is still scheduled for May 17. Do I go ahead and send out his invitations? With a note stuck in there about possible date change? I mean, everyone is obviously aware of what is going on but I have this feeling of trying to do things right and I just am not sure what to do.

Keeping all of you in my thoughts. That we all stay healthy. Big hugs and positive vibes to all. :love_heart:

I would wait on invitations. The school may put restrictions in place that only immediate family can come, or two people from the family can come. Or only the graduate comes and everyone else watches from home on a screen. Or whatever.

It would be awkward to invite people and then have to turn around and say, sorry, you can't come.

I would put pressure on the school to make a decision about this so you can do what you need to. It would be nice if they delayed the actual ceremony for when this is all cleared up and then everyone can have a glorious celebration together.

Just my thoughts.

I agree...until April 30, no one can come into the state for non-working purposes anyway, unless they self-quarantine for 14 days. 95% of family is from Nebraska.

This is just such an odd situation we all find ourselves in. I am traditional in most things and just want to do right. I feel so bad for all the seniors. It feels wrong to sit on the invites because of protocol and tradition...etiquette. But that is my heart talking. My head knows waiting is probably the right thing to do.

Even if they do not get a ceremony, we're going to have a party. But not until the all clear is given, of course.

I totally understand your feelings. I think the school should be giving you guys some guidance -- as best they can of course. It is such an odd thing. I want your graduates to be recognized for their huge accomplishment, but safely for you all.

LOL. Taking my side here will get you nowhere but in the doghouse.

And the daughter currently doesn't have a boyfriend at the moment. She hasn't found one with a big enough stock portfolio or politically influential parents. :)
