WEEK 9

Work from home warriors…What have you learned during COVID-19 quarantine? 
I’m sure we all can agree that we’ve learned we HATE Webex calls!  “Can you mute your phone! We’re getting a lot of background noise, can you everyone please mute their phone!  What?! We can’t hear you, you’re on mute! Unmute your phone!  Oh I’m sorry, you speak.  No, please you continue!” LOL!  We want to know if you’ve used your time in quarantine to expand your knowledge by learning something new or trying something you’ve always wanted to but never had the time… 
  • Have you learned a new skill?  Are you now a top chef? Have you learned how to use power tools? Are you now the family barber or dog groomer?
  • Are you learning a new language? 
  • Are you learning to play an instrument?
  • Have you become crafty? Learned how to sew your own mask? Can you paint your own “Happy Trees”?
  • Have you learned yoga or how to meditate? 
  • Have you discovered your home fitness gadget isn’t just for drying laundry?!
  • Or have you finally learned the latest TikTok dance challenge?!  #ohnanachallenge #blindinglightschallenge 
 
Whatever it is, we want to see it!  Send us a pic of your new skill, or just tell us what you’ve learned, and we’ll include it in next week’s newsletter.

Content is due every Thursday by 9:00 AM.
Submit your content/photos to: [email protected]

Master chef's

Here’s a braciola that I made over the weekend. Not too complicated to make, just takes a ton of time – which is something I’ve had a lot of recently. I stole the recipe from Giada De Laurentiis.

My wife and I have been watching way too much of the food network channel lately. We revisited a classic breakfast dish the other morning, Brioche French Toast topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, and maple syrup. Pair with a fresh cup of coffee and you are good to go for the day. Luckily everyone here is posting great workout routines as well!!

JLL 'cribs'

I have taken over half of my basement that my boyfriend and I are slowly reflooring and remodeling, and turned it into my home archery shop.  I use to rely on others to setup and fix my equipment but have invested in my own equipment and setup my entire outdoor bow this past weekend!  A work in progress!

I love this time of year (and Hobie too) - sitting on my front porch in the evenings, watching the sunset; or relaxing/eating dinner on our back deck, enjoying all kinds of wildlife! Now it will be even more enjoyable, thanks to a new addition to our back deck curtesy of my husband, Mike!
