Life in San Diego, USA during Covid 19
By Barbara Ann Velasco
Dear Cecilia,
My husband Jack and I are quarantining in San Diego with our youngest daughter and her family. We're taking the lockdown as an opportunity to be hands-on with our three grandkids (5, 3, and 1).
I am retired and fully helping with family at home. My daughter and son-in-law are working remotely. The eldest grandchild is now homeschooling and the younger ones are home from daycare. When my husband and I come in from errands, our kisses and hugs are held off until we wash up.
