Saw that Illinois has told all bars and restaurants to close. Other states are doing some similar things. Hope this puts a dent in the spread of the virus.
We've decided that our Gson will be homeschooled at his house. He and I will facetime for some, other stuff he can do on his own. I spent the better part of this weekend planning out 36 days of school for him. (His math course should be done by then.) Some stuff is on hold until we can get back to it. Lots of educational sites have added an online component or made their online stuff free for awhile.

I only have a younger sister about 17 months younger. We argued more than smacking each other around. Also some devious pranks were played on each other.

The female sumo wrestlers aren't too large in build and they can wear t-shirts and shorts, which gives them better grips. I thought they would have had a belt and sports bra on rather than shirts and shorts.

Yes, restaurants and bars. They can offer take outs. Fast food places will spike in sales. People are complaining that waitresses are going to lose part of their pay.

Carli's daycare lady is restricted to no coughing, sneezing, or sniffling kids. Carli has a small cough and a bit of a runny nose, but she always seems to have that.

So I will be keeping her entertained for two weeks while schools are closed. I've been looking for some schooling things to do, phonetics and simple reading, counting, writing the alphabet (her handwriting sucks), plus recess outside, story time, board games, and play time. She is in pre-k.

Twizzle pup pup is jealous with my time spent with Carli. After some school time from assignments from her preschool teacher, we get play time. Twizzle is there, too. First she watches, then she puts her paw on me, then she pushes on me harder (l need to trim her nails), then she lays down between Carli and me. Carli is selfish, she doesn't want to share my time. When I play with Twizzle (and I will share my time with her, too), Carli will go wrestle with Pa Pa.

When Gson was learning how to read, I would encourage him to share his book with our cat or dog. He'd "read" to them. As he got better at it, he would actually read to them.

I was surprised today! When Twizzle got impatient today, Carli said "I think you should play with Twizzle." I asked her if she was sure and she said yes. So we went outside. It was nice and sunny and mostly warm. I played catch with Twiz and Carli brought some toys outside. Felt good to get fresh air. Papa raked leaves and picked up poop. Lol!

Great! Kids can surprise us a lot.

This Memes thread has become a catch-all thread. LOL. A site I subscribe to for free online educational stuff sent this site out today on the History of English, in case anyone is interested:
www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/lang_gallery.shtml
I've abandoned the audiobook of The Story of English in 100 Words and will get the E-book soon. I am a visual learner, so the audiobook is less than ideal for me, unless I am taking notes, which is difficult to do in bed as I am ready to go to sleep.

Time for a new meme:

Found this video-article on the causes of COVID-19 and similar viral epidemics very interesting:

NOTE TO SELF: Your neighbors do not find it amusing when you put on your Renaissance outfit and role your wheelbarrow through the streets at 7:00am calling to "bring out yer dead!"
