Back to Bloomington

Since Nick only had to work two days this week, he and Meg decided to spend the rest of it in Bloomington.  Brett was glad to host them once again and they left tonight around 6 p.m.  Before she headed out Meg and I spent the morning at the grocery store.  We decided to try Menards as well as we wanted to buy a few household items that weren't available at Martin's.  We were impressed with how safe we felt while shopping in the hardware store.  Everyone was required to wear a mask and the aisles were large enough that we could easily social distance.  They also had items priced well below what we could buy online or at the grocery store.

Once we got everything unloaded from our shopping trip, Meg spent the rest of her day packing for trip, doing some of her homework and cleaning her room.  She was excited to leave for Bloomington and I didn't blame her.  Their county's low COVID-19 rates, social distancing measures and mask requirements allow for her and Nick to get out more than they can here.  It also gives her some independence.  We will miss her, but are glad that they were able to get away for a few days.
