How are you doing? My extrovert friends are going stir-crazy and my introvert friends are say “Isn’t it nice to be home?” I have found myself busier than ever checking in on family and friends via skype and messaging and FaceTime, not to mention rearranging schedules and canceling commitments and appointments. Still, my family is healthy and only inconvenienced a bit. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those who are facing hard times and health challenges. I’m so glad we can bring you our weekly dose of encouragement. Thirst Quenching Awesomeness (Bottle 65 Words Prompt) was our most viewed post last week.
This week I am featuring three posts that will brighten your days during this time of social distancing:
- How to Plant An Indoor Hydroponic Herb Garden
- Easy Chalkboard Placemats
- Culture & Education during Social Isolation

My pleasure, Debbie 🙂 I’m glad to bring encouragement to you all those who visit!
Thanks for hosting each week and providing inspiration during these times. I thank you for featuring my post on cultural and educational resources while staying at home. We all need to support each other and your blog is one of those places it happens.
🙂 I’m so glad you are joining us in bringing encouragement to us, Carol! Blessings to you and yours!
Thank you so very much for the feature, you’ve made my morning! Thanks for another wonderful party and hope you’re having a wonderful week.
You bring such great ideas to us, Chas 🙂 thanks for joining in the party!
I am definitely seeing/hearing the gamut of feelings here too from “isn’t is nice to be home?” to “ugh, how much longer can we do this?”… I think I fall somewhere in the middle.
during these times, in the middle is probably a good place to be, Joanne 🙂 I lean heavy toward the introvert side, but being the mom of many in a small house means I get little opportunity to really escape!
Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 3-16 to 3-20 on my blog. On Tuesday was a Corned Beef Hash Egg Bake. Wednesday was Butter Cake Cherries Jubilee. Thursday was Corned Beef Turkey Sandwich. And winding up this Easter Week of Goodies is Tip Friday Hacks For Eggs. Enjoy!
you are welcome, Marilyn 🙂 glad to have you joining the party!
As an introvert, I do love the extra time at home. But I’m sorry for the reason behind it. 🙁 I hope the internet doesn’t go out though because then things would really change for extroverts and introverts alike.
I agree, Lisa. Continued prayers for everyone through this time!
Thanks so much for hosting and for featuring my THIRST QUENCHING AWESOMENESS (BOTTLE 65 WORDS PROMPT)! I’m linking up today with WEED APPRECIATION DAY and WHAT WAS IT? (ANIMAL PROMPT 75 WORDS).
Glad you are here, Dee!
Stay well! We will get through these difficult times. Thank you for hosting
Thank you, Pat, and the same to you! So glad you stopped for the party this past week!
As one of those introvert, and retired no less, I do feel for my extroverted friends. In the past, when I was out socializing, I always had the option to go home when it became too much. Extroverts don’t have many options.

I have the same feelings, Michelle. My introverted self is rather over-stimulated living in a small home with a large family right now, but we are finding creative ways of coping.
