Annie's Wine Bottle School Art Project 2020
Based loosely on a Pokemon character, here is "Hatsune" ... which means "fox" in Japanese. I love this art project from Immaculata! I believe it was putting paper mache over a wine bottle to craft an original character. Leia did one as well when she was this age. (See below.) Today, I was volunteering and found the projects on display!

Remembering Childhood Friends from 1980 : Allison, Angie, & Lanie
In the 1970s & 1980s, it was all about the group of friends you had in your neighborhood. We were always outside on our bikes or playing kickball or Chinese jump rope, ... or inside listening to records, doing crafts, or playing dress-up. I had no idea this amazingly fun life in childhood suburbia would not be the same for my kids.
By the turn of the century (no matter if we lived in a neighborhood or a rural area), it was all about "playdates." Why? Safety, I guess. No more just going outside or "can _____ come out and play?" I remember hearing the term "playdate," and thinking it was silly. Then I remember when I realized that the decisions made to fulfill my own dream (living in a rural area with woods all around) didn't make that kind of suburban life possible for my kids. Positives and Negatives about this, I suppose. But I remember a time when Annie and Leia felt sad about it. I wonder where they will choose to live, ... or if they will even have a choice.
Covid Toilet Paper & Disinfectant Shortage 2020
Being a personal shopper at a big box store, I see it all. These are the toilet paper and disinfectant shelves on March 16, 2020. Disinfectant I can understand. Toilet paper? Go figure. At least I get dibs on items when they first arrive!

Wine Bottle of Our Italian Heritage 2020
I recently found out that where the Compare side of the family is from, the "heel of the boot" of Italy, and specifically Loco Rotundo (meaning "Round City") is famous for its wine. I found a local wine seller could order Antico directly from Loco Rotundo! ... I gave bottlea to aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course, my dad, ... anyone who would like one. After we tried the wine, I made lights out of them! Here is the result.
