Fun - Activities - Discussion

It certainly can be depressing trying to stay on top of the ever changing world we are living in right now. I thought it would be fun to post activities that can be shared for those in self isolation or shelter for place orders.

Please keep it light and fun. The idea is to put a smile on your face even if it's just for a few moments of distraction from the challenging times we are in right now. Stay safe!

Here are a couple of ideas, but one that comes to mind is for those who don't cook, or bake, it would be a good time to try a simple recipe.

A friend of mine has a farm and one of her goats just had a couple of kids and she filmed everything and is posting their antics. They are so cute!

Thanks, @GuardianAngel   Hope it helps some of us make it through!

@Sprite, it's as if you read my mind for today's social-distancing-support post: Baby goats!

Watch some sports: NFL or NBA

Funny article about the National Championship of Social Distancing: Bracket  
ETA: Fixed it, @GuardianAngel! Thanks for the heads-up!

Stay well

@veg_out oh my gosh the goats are adorable!!!

The Bracket link didn't work for me but maybe because it's only for USA.

Stay well!

P.S. @GuardianAngel, love that Pooh post

@veg_out great choices! I didn't know they were airing parts of the Olympics!

I've been watching reruns of Hockey but that only seems to be during the evening.

I'll add to the list, I love my pedicures, but since that's not an option I'm going to have to do it myself!

I saw a tweet the other day, that in 4 weeks or so we'll know what everyone's real hair colour is.

Not yet!!! That is what home colouring is for.
