April, usually a month of celebrations, was a quiet month. We were home the majority of the time, Instacart shopping for groceries most of the time, lots of meal preparation since we were eating from home 3 meals a day, 7 days a week. My birthday, Spencer's birthday, Gene's birthday, Easter, and Madison's birthday involved home made cakes and virtual singing with Carrie and the boys. Poor Spencer would not let his mom and dad cut his birthday cake until late on his birthday as he could not believe that we were not going to be able to be with him in person. Happy 7th birthday to Spencer and 14th birthday to Madison. Madison learned the joys of Amazon wish lists and deliveries. I bought myself a new bike for my birthday.
'The best part of the month was being able to be with Felix the JRT. Felix was 17 in February and it seemed that he would not make it long past his birthday. Felix had canine dementia, became incontinent, no longer barked, and would just walk in circles at night after sleeping all day. Felix rallied with us being home all day. He spent a lot of time with Madison in between Zoom school work.
