A fun, full Sunday.

 First, I had a Zoom class with Miss Katie O'Connell, 16, high school junior, honor student, musician and Girl Scout potential Golden Award. She was completing her fourth and final on-line class, titled The Art of Happiness project. Teaching teens how art can positively affect teen mental health during difficult times such as the pandemic. Four free classes explain the science behind how creating art positively affects teen mental health. Guest speakers give expert advice on the topic, including a psychologist, a UCSD art professor and a professional photographer.  A simple art project is demonstrated at each session, and teens had the opportunity to discuss art and the pandemic together. Today's Special Guest Speaker: Local Artist, Dr. Alan Larson, MD giving his advice on the positive effects of creating art. Then Katie taught us how to create an up-cycled Mini Zen Garden for our desktop to help us keep a peaceful mind during studies.


Second, Grandhunk # 3 arrived just as the class ended and we were off for lunch at ...

Third, we were off to Orange, to go to a Drive-By event, 

where we were invited to pick up an individually-wrapped sweet treat from us at their apartment from the comfort and safety of our own vehicle anywhere between 2-4pm. We found the balloons and joined the line.

They gave us cake-pops that had the gender color to be revealed when we ate them. We were asked to #1 said it will be a boy, I guessed girl.

 


A  Zoom get-together from 4 -4:30 revealed blue balloons. We are all so happy for this young couple, they will be great parents.

Fourth, we went back to my house and Jordan shower me a game  called Animal Crossing on his Nintendo Switch. A clever game, and all I could think was who could program so many details? Amazing Modern Technology. 

We ate our cake-pops with the blue insides, visited and too soon

it was for time for GH#1 to go home. The four hours had flown by.

Thanks Jordan and Congratulations Tina and Chris!

What an exciting Sunday you had, Jacki. And the best of all you could spend so much time with GH#1. I'm sure you enjoyed every second and still are thinking of it and remembering everything.
I'm grateful my younger son called this evening and I could see him on my iphone.
Today's blog was such a treat again.
Have a fine evening, dear Jacki.

Thank you, as always dear Elenor. Today is a beautiful day, blue skies, no clouds, 71 degrees. I ran an errand, mask on, didn't get out of my car, but enjoyed the warmth of the sun. March has snuck (?) up on me! ;o)
