  A Good Time for Fondue

  Last weekend, my dad (Grandpa) fell ill. We spent the week anxiously anticipating the results of his Coronavirus test while he quarantined in his bedroom. When the results came back negative, the grandchildren wanted to celebrate. So, my Mom (Grandma) promised them a fondue party. The fondue set in was a wedding gift for my parents, and they had only used it once in their 46 years of marriage (married 04/27/1976). The chocolate fondue was delicious, and the fondue set is yet another relic we've dusted off during this long shelter-in-place.

  Kitchen Table Mural

  Trying to keep the family busy and happy during the shelter-in-place is a challenge. I unrolled a sheet of butcher paper on the kitchen table to occupy the kids one morning, and over the next few weeks, a mural emerged. All members of our family could be found sketching, painting, and coloring on the mural at random times until this beautiful mural was created.
