Natalie, for the first time in a long time, had somewhere to go without us on Saturday. A friend of hers from a couple years ago has moved back to town, apparently, and was having a birthday party at Morsches Park in Columbia City. Which is a ways to go, so we weren't sure whether to stick around or what, but Nat asked us to leave and brought up that she is 18 and we shouldn't have to babysit her yada yada which wasn't what we meant, but we left anyway. After we dropped her off at the park we (Beth, Missy, & I) did a little geocaching around CC. A few cemetery caches, is all. Including one that Duke placed not very long ago, and I was second to find, again. Anyway, by the time we had found just a few, Nat called and said we could come pick her up. We got one more cache with her before heading home. She also met someone at the party (there was only one person there that she knew) that she appears to be interested in.....

Natalie has been on spring break this past week, not that we're doing anything (again) because for one, the pandemic is still on, and for another, Alex and Missy have spring break next week. Which makes it pretty inconvenient if we wanted to do anything. We had looked into some small trips, to Louisville or Chicago, but found out that the Boschains were going to be gone this week (so no Louisville), and most things in Chicago either are not open again yet, or are at severely limited capacity or closed during the week on days we would want to go. So no spring break trip for us, again. Beth has been trying to find things to entertain her a bit this week, taking her out to Beaded Peacock and for coffee or breakfast here and there. Probably the same next week, but Alex is also working a lot.....

Our church was contacted last week by a young woman who is in a domestic violence situation, and her house was broken into and trashed by her ex. She asked for help in getting it all cleaned up and her things moved to storage. Our small group was asked if we could help her with that. I organized everything, contacted her and got things set up to go after work on Wednesday with a few trucks, and she was renting a dumpster. But, overnight her house was broken into again so she called and said she didn't think it was a good idea to be there now so it was all off. Not sure what we should do now.....
