Video Chatting with Grandchildren

Sunday, April 5, 2020  through Thursday, April 9, 2020

Palm Sunday and we watched  Mass on my phone being said at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Escanaba. It is nice to be able to watch/attend at a familiar place but strange not to be physically there on Palm Sunday and I have a feeling not being there on Easter is going to really be strange. It is what it is but strange just the same.

We have been playing cards, Gin Rummy to be exact. It is a card game we have played a lot of over the years especially at night when we were camping. I remember times when we were in our travel trailer with our kids when throughout the day I would have a game going with each of  them. Lots of nice memories.

Wednesday was a really exciting day we went to the Walmart in Corinth and did a grocery pickup. Actually, we were very happy with how that turned out. The young lady who brought out the groceries was efficient and polite. Plus, who ever picked our groceries did a good job picking out the fresh produce. I know next time it could be a completely different outcome but for know we are pleased and will continue to use this service for the foreseeable future. We have an order in at Kroger we will pick up on Monday, fingers crossed it goes just as well.

So what do you do when you cannot see your grandchildren or children in person? One of the things we use is a video chat on Facebook Messenger. These last few weeks we have been using it more then usual and there is a button for filters that our grandchildren love to use. Below are some of the pictures I snapped in the last week or so. I am sure there will be more in the weeks to come.

We were both angels and before I could snap the picture...lol
Love these little faces.

Watching them dancing to a show on the television.

Sometimes I am not sure who we were talking to.

Some mother and daughter time.

Love these little faces.

Enjoying seeing our youngest grandson as a bunny.

The tree outside our door is getting greener.

We are living our days in the quietness of this park. Every time we hear the number of deaths within our own country and the world it is a moment of sadness. It is a scary time and then we read of all those that have recovered and we know there is hope. We think of our friends in our country and to the north in Canada and hope you are all staying healthy. You are in our prayers.

We are very grateful to know, as I write this, our family is doing well and staying healthy. We thank God and pray he will continue to bless them with good health.

It seems strange to say but we would describe our days as good. We hope you can say the same.

We are glad you stopped by!

If you have time to leave a comment we would enjoy hearing from you.
