My birthday was both laid back and quiet, both of which our family needed as we continue to heal from Scott's heart attack. The weather was gorgeous so I made a reservation for us to all go strawberry picking. Timmy was especially excited to return to the farm, albeit a completely different farm, to resume a familiar and comforting tradition. Witnessing his excitement to pick strawberries showed me that I need to provide more familiar experiences for him during this summer. His world has also been turned upside down and I think he is finding comfort through familiarity.
We had a great time at the strawberry farm which looked and felt very familiar to our old family stomping grounds. I'm going to check into the prices for their CSA and playpasses. If affordable, I think may be a fantastic option for our family, especially Timmy, this summer. We are going to be rather tethered to WV and I'm trying to find local activities that will spark joy.
In the meantime, we need to get through the rest of this school year. Timmy has two weeks left and then he is officially done. After some drama about school for next year, his teachers have worked tirelessly to create their won school based upon the current technology being used. In other words, despite the fears of the school closing, Timmy's education will continue without pause. Talk about a relief!
