Cooking and baking together, puzzles and playing cards and board games have helped a lot. Also, we decided to foster four kittens at the beginning of quarantine to help one of the local shelters. As a 'dog family' we have grown fond of them but they will be heading off to new homes in two weeks. This was a way for both of my students to safely help during the pandemic and it provided a much needed distraction. During breaks from online learning, the kittens provided a bit of 'therapy' and comic relief!

"One of the silver linings has been the time together for my two daughters, allowing them to reconnect. Many evenings, at sunset, they plan to meet on our balcony to enjoy and photograph the beautiful Florida sunsets."
