Act in such a way that all those who come in contact with you will go away joyful. Sow happiness about you, because you have received much from God; give, then generously to others.

Ah, you are in for a treat with the Guernsey book! Have you seen the movie? It's such a delight. 🙂
I just finished and really enjoyed it! Is Netflix the only way to watch the movie?
I think it's a Netflix original so, yes.
Ahh, bummer. We cancelled our Netflix subscription a few months ago since we weren't using it enough to justify the cost. I'll have to watch it at my parent's house when this quarantine is over!
That's so messed up that you still have to test. Totally lame!!
The email pretty much said that since nothing drastic has happened to homeschoolers, there's no reason why they shouldn't still test. Bizarre reasoning, but oh well.
the birds hatched!!!
