This post is exactly what I needed - exactly right now. Long ago, my husband and I planned a long weekend to visit his daughter and grandson. Last week, we each came down with rather major colds - not COVID - we tested negative. He texted his daughter and she replied that if we were sick, it might be better to cancel. I must admit that I was more than happy to oblige. After 24 hours to ponder that, he called her to let her know we were still sick and would not be coming. She came up with multiple reasons to not cancel, unless we tested positive for COVID (we were negative). So, now we will leave for the airport at 4 AM tomorrow. That was a back and forth I had not expected. Your post allowed me to commiserate. Thanks for the perspective.
Amy, the grands' lack of disappointment at camp cancellation means that you are as entertaining and fun as camp (or even moreso!). I'd take it as a compliment of the highest order! ❤️
Thanks, Amy for a great look at how well you and your family have raised these beautiful girls. I have friends who did the same thing last year when their girls camp week was canceled (theme days, craft days, outings and their own carnival!). Not only did it get them ready for school, but this year when they did have "Tom Sawyer" camp, they handled it even better then previous years!
If it's not one pandemic, it's another. We have plans to visit family in northern Mich w/ our 5-month-old puppy in tow, & now there's an outbreak of a deadly dog virus in that area. So - plan B. Or C or D. I'm not tbe most flexible soul in the universe, and it wears on a person. Thanks as always for the window into your world.
