Moments of time during our quarantine:
Right before our world changed:
Coronavirus will not stop our friendship!!!We had a great time catching up, not catching the virus! We survived, hand sanitizer in, well, hand. Thanks Robyn for taking me to the remote area of D.C. like last time. Doors locked! Lol
Please appropriately clear your calendar for tonight, as the parent comments on the FCPS post stating schools are gonna open tomorrow, are going to be legendary!!! #WhereIsDavid!!
One of the best comments on the FCPS FB page:
Are you out of your mind? Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, and every other University have cancelled all classes; the NBA, NHL, and NCAA have shut down; Broadway has shut down; Disney world is closed; travel is banned; DC, MD, VA, NY have declared states of emergency; the stock market had suspended trading; the federal government has gone to 100 percent telework! But you don't see a reason to cancel classes?"
Now if we could just get a forecast of snow, then we will close. 😂
The parents have been heard. Over 1,300 comments blasting the superintendent on what a G-d awful decision it was to not close our schools today. School is now closed. Power to the people!!
Lucy patiently waiting for the kids to wake up and tell them there is no school today. 🐶 ♥️
People, It’s just gotten real. 😳

I’m thinking FCPS can stop the flashing school zone speed limit signs, you know, indefinitely. 🤣
Tales from the Pandemic: Lori and I sent our mom (age 76) an iPad so she can FaceTime with my family and Lori’s. I had the iPad sent to Lori & Ben so they can set it up with WiFi, iCloud ID, etc. Lori put netlix and amazon prime on it and logged her in. We made everything as easy as possible to get her up and running with minimal technical knowledge needed. The iPad was dropped off at the door and no human contact was made.
Within the last 24 hours:
1. I FaceTime mom to make sure all is good. After about 10 minutes, while FaceTiming(!!), we discover the iPad is still in the box and she didn’t realize that the box wasn’t part of the device.
2. Mom decides to watch a movie on Netflix. She said the one she picked out was making her ill (it had to do with the Holocaust) and she needed to turn it off. She called me to ask how to turn it off. Meanwhile, over the phone, I hear people getting shot in the background and mom saying “Oh G-d, oh G-d). Everything I tell her to do to turn it off (and believe me I got super creative too - including having her hold her finger down on the little circle showing how far into the movie she was and fast forwarding to the end), it wasn’t working for her. Mom decides to put the iPad with the movie playing in the guest bedroom and close the door until the movie is over. Even with the door closed, you can still hear people getting shot. I told mom to at least turn the volume down. She said she finally got the volume to where she likes it and doesn’t want to mess with it. Apparently that was a struggle too.
3. This morning when FaceTiming, mom said she needed to go to the App Store and wanted to know if there was one in Altamonte Springs she could visit. 😂😂
I love mom and how she is trying so hard to get it.
Is it wrong I am so hoping I wake up and this was all a bad dream. And we’ve been able to do all of our usual activities, but right now, I am still asleep and don’t realize it!?!? 🤔😆
Tales from the Pandemic: Our family’s greatest achievement! This 2,000 piece puzzle took us an embarrassing amount of time to do. We all had different periods of being obsessed trying to get it done. It was truly a team effort. Gooooo Team Toppall!
Kudos to the Reber’s (Leslie and Matt) who did a virtual puzzle contest with us. They started their 2,000 piece puzzle the same day we started ours. They’ve been done for a long time now. For awhile it was fun texting pics back and forth each night documenting our progress. But it quickly became evident that they are puzzle gurus and we are puzzle impaired.
