NBC says it's bringing back PARKS AND RECREATION for a one-time benefit special that will air next Thursday, 4/30.
Way to go! Thank you television for bringing on the entertainment.
We had a socially distanced birthday party for my son's FIL last night. Just 8 of us. Me and DH, son and DIL, her parents, and her aunt and uncle. We went to their favorite yogurt place that they go to every week and the owner played guitar and sang to him. The we all sat in chairs we brought with us out in the parking lot while the owners played guitar for a couple hours.
DIL's parents are suffering live entertainment withdrawal because they generally go watch local bands at least weekly if not more often. The yogurt place owners were great. They had masks and face shields for serving, but took down the masks while they sang happy birthday. As per city rules of course all the people were masked. We were playing 'guess from my eye crinkles' if we were smiling under the masks.
It was a nice break. We have a large circular driveway so we agreed to have a nice BYOB family gathering there over the weekend since there is room to spread out. The kids see us every day of course, but I know they are missing her parents a lot. Everyone is healthy and they are both work from home.
I do think a way forward is smarter gatherings. My neighbors are all walking or biking and people are sitting in their front yards exchanging greetings.
