All right, my name is Katie Kole de Peralta and I'm a clinical assistant professor at ASU. The date is February 11. And it's 10:16am Mountain Standard Time. And I'm speaking with Tracy Kole, I want to ask you a question mom about your pandemic experience. But before I do, I would like to ask for your consent to record this response for the COVID-19 archive. The COVID-19 archive is a digital archive at ASU that is collecting pandemic experiences. Do I have your consent to record your response and add it to the archive with your name?

Okay, great. Thank you. So first, can you tell me your name, age and where you live?
Tracey Kole 0:51

Great. Now I'm just going to ask you a quick question about the pandemic. We've experienced a lot of changes in 2020. And many have been negative and disruptive. But perhaps it's not all bad. What's one positive thing you've experienced during the pandemic?
Tracey Kole 1:14
I think when COVID started, I felt rather isolated. But then in May 19, there was a flood. So while I was already staying home this flood destroyed half of my house. And for me it was a silver lining when neighbors and friends and churches and everybody came to help us rebuild. And also I have a real love of gardening but have always been too busy to take the time to do it. But COVID provided me the time to stay home and plant a garden where the flood had been to have flowers bloom later in the summer that were just wonderful to watch. To look at.
Kathleen Kole de Peralta 1:58
And you mentioned that you planted flowers also on the old lake bed that where the lake used to be.
Tracey Kole 2:04
That is where my flowers are planted. I put wildflower seeds down on the lake bed.
Kathleen Kole de Peralta 2:09
That definitely sounds like a silver lining. Thank you for your time today.
Tracey Kole 2:13
Thank you
