I had a writers workshop this morning -- half the participants were still in their pajamas! Two were in bed.

I believe that through your words you have managed to create a giant virtual "group hug." xoxo Janice<br />p.s.

Social distancing, sheltering-in-place.... our new reality! All of us now experts in hand-washing! Gail, you've had your share of frightening disasters with the fires... what terrible practice! <br /><br />Just think of how much we will relish hugs once we're allowed them again!

Although it is only a couple of years away somehow I keep telling myself I don't fall into that group! We are still, of course, observing Social Distancing. <br /><br />What is it with four year olds and the word poopy. That definitely crosses the Atlantic, seems that whatever we say to Georgia that is her answer. <br /><br />Wonderful post Lea, transatlantic hugs to you and Davey and let's hope we can share them for real at some point.<br /><br />Christine xxChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677030344469534319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700567856433724150.post-51622702565367445192020-03-20T12:26:41.171-07:002020-03-20T12:26:41.171-07:00Lovely, dear Lea and I echo the sentiments of Unkn...Lovely, dear Lea and I echo the sentiments of Unknown above!.

Well put; I understand!<br /><br />Hugs to you, Lea. Our "new" friendship has always been virtual athis time around, and it is AMAZING how REAL it is! California leads the way again, with a statewide sheltering in place now. I miss my Zumba class, 2-3x a week swim, and other, but so grateful that I still care for Zaylie at 1-2x a week. We are fam-i-lee.<br /><br />Okay, gotta go for a walk! Those of us who endured the wildfires and smoke REALLY appreciate the ability to go outside, even if it's done in social-distancing mode.<br /><br />Take care. xox to Dave. xo gailgail mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150912136251418367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700567856433724150.post-57140804946248686912020-03-20T11:30:05.779-07:002020-03-20T11:30:05.779-07:00I loved our "distance hug" at Trader Joe...I loved our "distance hug" at Trader Joe's! I know just how you feel - so hard not to BE with people now. Luckily for all of us, your smile and enthusiasm (even in a memory) feel like a warm embrace all the time. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155488218246005001noreply@blogger.com
