So at the end of January, 2020, a global pandemic from Covid-19, the Coronavirus, shut down the United States and most of the world. It really hit the United States and Florida right at the end of your Spring Break. Your school was shut down the day before Spring Break started, on March 13, 2020.
Your mom drove you into town and I picked you up from your grandmother’s house on the evening of March 14th. Sharli was in Utah skiing, so you didn’t get a chance to see her. We started the week by going to “Uncle Tony’s” house, my good friend, Tony Chinchay, with whose daughter, Sophia, you had become friends. We had fun with Emma Crannick and Sophia.
Unfortunately, Disney and the other theme parks were closed when you got here, and the pool at the complex was even closed. But we still had so much fun together. The next day, we went to the pet store and met Lily, whom we took home the next day. She was shy and hid most of the time you were here. Luna was freaking out and hissing and hiding under my bed the whole time, threatened by the presence of such a cute, harmless cat who was so sweet. The picture of you behind the dryer is because we had to send you behind there to get Lily to come out.
We had lunch with Sissy at her restaurant where she worked. It’s always so great to see her.
We rode bikes three days in a row! I loved riding bikes with you. You ended up riding 21 miles in three days. The bike path by my place is so convenient and safe. You may have started late in learning to ride a bike, for various reasons, but ever since I taught you, you have been great at it.
We finished with a good swim at Emma’s old house, with my golf lights lighting the pool and the golf ball. It was a fun night. It was an awesome visit. All of them are.
