home, but not alone

Camilla plays piano for me on Face Time

Can you imagine spending the next ten months with this hopper (above)? Providence has just decreed that there will be no school in the fall, either. Ack! Camilla, 9, seems to have adjusted to school on line ("I can learn at my own pace") and is a good sport about it. Isaac, 6, on the other hand, can't read or write or use a computer (except for Minecraft and movies) and goes into full-on refusal mode. Instead, he has debuted a meditation podcast to help kids go to sleep—something that seems to be a near-universal problem in these changed times.
   Hannah, meanwhile, saw the handwriting on the wall and shut down her office/studio and moved her business home to the basement, as did Chris. To add insult to injury, the basement then flooded. Double ack!!
