Covid and the Smell Test

The smell test isn't only about whether your favorite t-shirt can be worn again before washing it. In 2020, the smell test helps determine if you've come down with the dreaded Covid-19. On Monday Max wasn't feeling well AND he was losing his sense of taste and smell. Although we haven't been tested, it seems likely that he has Covid.

Quarantining and Recovering

By Tuesday, none of us were feeling great so, Max and Emma stayed home from school. We've been in a state of semi-quarantine. Kami and I have been working from home. I've gone into my office to pick up a few things and every night I help set up and take down the live nativity. Otherwise, we are in the house.

Max quarantining with Scoobs

We've all been exhausted and have been sleeping a lot! Sunday was probably the worst. We had a hard time getting up. We did make it up in time to watch church on video at 11. We had the hone sacrament and "Come Follow Me" later in the evening after more naps.

Emma quoting lines from Hallmark movies

Of course, the worst part about being quarantined is Hallmark movies. We've seen more than our fair share. Of course, we can practically quote all of the lines . . . even on movies we haven't seen before. At least they all have happy (and sappy) endings!

Stranger Things on P-day in Lithia, Georgia

Monday is P-day in the Georgia Atlanta Mission. On Monday, December 21st, it was t-shirt weather and a day to do a little adventuring around Douglasville. Sam, his companion Elder Pike, and the other set of missionaries in the apartment, Elder Hinck and Elder Searle, took in two popular tourist sites close by in Lithia, Georgia. Tiffany's Kitchen in Lithia, Georgia is used in episodes of Stranger Things Tiffany's turns into Benny's Burgers for the Netflix show Stranger Things Inside Tiffany's Kitchen/Benny's Burgers The menu at Tiffany's Kitchen is apparently not fantastic. The restaurant is better as a set for Stranger Things than it is for good food. P-day adventure at Sweetwater Creek State Park in Lithia, Georgia. Apparently, this is a rock. Sweetwater Creek State Park is known for its popular hiking trails. Sam takes a selfie at Sweetwater Creek.
