It is difficult being away from the Bean — more for me than her. She is doing great and thriving through this new normal. She has learned to ride her bike, she has done all her schoolwork and is keeping up with her class in good fashion, she is earning Girl Scout badges hand over fist and she is reading — to me — over the phone.
Currently we are working on this book —
It is about a little yorkie who is finding his way in the big city with challenges at every turn. It is a really good story and of course I identify with it because of you-know-who! Bean is reading two chapters to me everyday, over the phone. I sit here, close my eyes and visualize her words — like a movie running through my mind. It is going well and I am enjoying it. There are several books in the series and we are going to read them all, depending on how long our confinement continues.
I like how this is creating a memory, keeping her busy and strengthening our relationship in spite of the physical distancing.
We are going to find our way through this — I am just thankful we have the means through technology to maintain and strengthen our relationships in spite of the isolation.

Oh, that's wonderful! I love your puppy.
Is she going to write about that book on her blog?
Pom Pom — thank you! She is a mess!
Mary — I will remind her to review it. Hopefully she can remember how to get to the blog — she is becoming rather tech savvy through all this!
Great story and great arrangement for Bean to read to you from the book. I'm quite sure she will always remember this time of isolation as more fun than us adults will.
I am sure she will! You know, she didn’t really like school so this isn’t really all that hard on her! I think she misses her friends but she seems to be getting on ok.
