COVID-19 Chronicles Part 3 (Birthdays)

We've now celebrated two birthdays in lockdown. For Sadie's birthday, grandma designed a sign on our front gate directing passersby to sing Happy Birthday. While Sadie did her school work on the front porch, dozens of neighbors and friends stopped to wish her well. A few neighbors we've never met even brought gifts. That was followed by a lemon-raspberry cake and Jackbox games over video chat with friends across the Bay Area and across the country.

James, who requested to NOT have strangers publicly sing to him, commemorated his birthday with a chocolate chocolate chip cake and a surprisingly cool laser pointer.
