Big kiddo's 2nd (annual?) outdoor movie screening birthday party. Projector, collapsible screen, temporary subscription to Disney Plus to watch the movie of choice ("Luca"), lemonade, cupcakes, 7 packages of microwave popcorn served with a ladle in little red and white striped boxes, piñata from Target filled with all sorts of crap (before sundown), darkness. Boom. She LOVED it. When the movie ended early, we turned the whole thing into a dance party, and the kids had a blast.

Today I thought about how none of our friends have been inside our house in over a year now. Incredible. Actually, R.L. came in for a short glimpse at Christmas-time, when we were doing the family Zoom call to make macrame ornaments. R. came to the door to drop off toffee, and I asked him to come in and check out our ornament making setup. But that's pretty much it. i found myself wondering today what do my friends' houses look like inside these days? Chaos? Order? the same? transformed by 24/7 living at home?
