I didn’t sign up for this homeschool stuff!!
We may not go back to school until fall?

I hope you’re kiddos and homestead are doing well!
My son gets his license next week!! We are praying the DMV doesn’t close, it takes about 3 months just to get an appointment.

it’s really hard to navigate the website on my phone! I really miss the app!!

LOL !! Our school district has made the homeschooling as easy as it can be made I think.. we have a daily schedule for the little one and The older ones can handle their own... I have been blessed with children who learning comes easy to so it’s really no hardship for me.. now trying to get my work done at the same time is a different story! My oldest is still working as a cashier in our grocery store. I worry about that and her exposure but I’m also hesitant to make her quit.. she has had that job for over a year and established a good work foundation. She will start college in the fall and will need that job... also, it’s important that the grocery stores have employees... still, it’s my daughters safety at risk so I’m very conflicted on advising her...

I can’t help but wonder what’s going on that’s so different in our world now that has brought this corona virus about...???? I guess my biggest concern is how the next generation ( our children ) will be affected by this...

I hope your son gets his license as scheduled!

Mark, are you loving your new home? I think the last time I was here you had put your house on the market.

That house on the “market” was a rental that we sold. Still here in Maryland.... we have a few lined up in Florida to check out. In fact we had planned a quick trip down this week, but decided to forego travel due to THE VIRUS!

Super cute!!!
I’m trying to find a damn puzzle to help with this self quarantine! My daughter cries everyday because I won’t let her hangout with a friend.

So far our district has set up online school work. I think it comes out Monday.
My son has been working at the after school program at the elementary school and now he can’t work. He’s bummed.
That would be hard to have your daughter work with the public, it’s a double edged sword.
Don’t you have a chameleon?
My son just informed 10 minutes ago he ordered one online!!
Are the Zoo Med starter kits ok to use?

Mine is the exact same!! He finds bugs then screams at them until I come remove them. And he’s got a set of lungs on him!
It was funny one year on my birthday. My present from God was a huge praying mantis on my kitchen wall. I didn't want Dilly to hurt it and he probably wouldn't have anyway. Dilly was in there telling me he found a big bug...I hadn't even had coffee yet...I was busy trying to figure a way to get my praying mantis safely back outside. I managed to reassure the praying mantis that it would be ok on a piece of newspaper. I still have to laugh about that morning.

Good morning everyone! Getting a little cabin fever because I am not going out in the public. 2 more weeks (April 1st) until the fence is installed in the backyard. Opo is ready, he is getting tired of his fenced in area. Wants out in the backyard all the time.
No rain forever so he goes right over to the neighbor's yard to graze. The grass is greener on the other side. It is hard for Rose to keep retrieving him.
Not sure how I am writing in bold letters. ???
Everyone stay safe with this virus.
I had to go out twice this week for lung doctor stuff. My doc was really happy with my cat scan. Her and I had a wonderful time talking. She's expecting a little boy. It's pretty bad when your doctor appointment is fun. Even the girls weighing in etc were helping me get my girl talk in. I didn't get everything thing done today but I'll finish tomorrow...

Some of my favorite memories, is just sitting around with family and a great big bowl of popcorn, working a puzzle. It's addictive.

Here snaky snaky. Says the Cat.

Come and get me, I dare you!! says the snake.

And who will come out on top? Come back tomorrow for more updates on the ongoing saga between the cat and the snake.
From what I read if the kitty actually got brave enough to go on the top, s/he would be screaming mommy. Especially, if s/he wound up inside her buddies tank.

I don’t know what all comes in them (the starter kits) but the different species chameleons have different temperature requirements I think.. mine is not supposed to get too hot. I use an UVB bulb for his sun and then a regular led light bulb for light... no heat .. they drink from moving water only and must be misted routinely... screen or open air cages are recommended... that’s about as far as I’ve gotten, lol... make sure to post some pics when his comes in!!!

Son and I are workin on a glow in the dark puzzle with hidden images... almost done;-)

Love your puzzle!!!
Well, the chameleon is coming tomorrow not Tuesday! Yikes!! We ran to LLL reptile and grabbed an enclosure. We got a money tree, fake vine, fake rope branch thing, 40 watt CHE, and the tube UVB light.
I hope we do ok. I’ll research some more.
