Hello Thomas - there are many "virtual" activities to enjoy - I am planning to check out a virtual film festival.  Some spring cleaning has been a part of the plan as well and some neighborhood free libraries have received a gift of books.

Hi Thomas,
I've never understood how people could get bored. Even though most of us don't want to spend as much time at home as we are, there's absolutely no reason to be bored.  In addition to your suggestions, there are endless online learning opportunities from A - Z... Arts to How to cook Zucchini.

I'm not one to be bored as there is so much to enjoy in whatever the situation is!  We had a blast yesterday inviting a few friends to meet us at a local park for a picnic yesterday. We all social distanced and laughed and talked for a couple of hours.  We're going to continue doing this on the weekends.

 

Lots of great ideas Thomas!  I've enjoyed watching a few more videos online lately, especially from museums to learn something new.

Excellent ideas and something for everyone!  I spoke with a grocery store clerk the other day who said they had a "cul-de-sac" happy hour where everyone was in their driveway.  An excellent way to get to know your neighbors!
