But when Sarah had a day off and the weather wasn't too bad we arranged to meet at The Berry Patch (Gallmeyer Farms). The boys know what to do: virtual hugs. So sweet. So sincere.
There were plenty of strawberries ready to be picked. We were done way too quickly.
Sarah had information from a friend that there was a wildflower field with trails criss-crossing. The boys could run off some steam. She headed straight for it while Papa and I brought the pickings to the cars. Then we joined the fun.
Sometimes the wildflowers where so high that the children disappeared.
This VIDEO gives you an idea ( 0:26 ).
We had separate cars and when Sarah drove home she sent this photo to us: The boys wanted to wear the new masks Omi had sewn (see above about the mentioned blog).
The same day Helen took some important photos. Our Nashville grandson is moving from elementary to middle school. This was supposed to be a very special time for him with field trips and other events he was looking forward too. Like many children he got disappointed but he did find this sign in front of the house from the the school.
Helen mounted it on the front door for a few days.
She took photos in front of his "old" school. Look, his feet actually left the ground.
Graduation zoom meeting.
He looks so .... grown up? How did this happen?
A few days he had a birthday. He turned 10 years old. His first birthday that we could not be there, sigh. And now he is a middle schooler. CONGRATULATIONS!
The sad side: the plan had been to be there for the graduation and take him to us for a lovely visit with us and his cousins. We hope that it is only postponed for a little time and not cancelled.
