I noticed most people do not talk about entertaining themselves in quarantine. What do you do at a time like this? My age at times is holding be back in going out. They recommend to me to stay home .Just go out for your appt.etc I have been doing that.Mike will take a drive to the ocean or lake where we are going tomorrow.We had to make a reservation for the lake. Yes this is NH they care about our people. they only allowed so many at the lake which is a good idea. Most people will feel slighted.But they care about us and want to keep us safe. We spend two hours or more then leave.It is a lovely ride to the lake with the country side I loved.How do you entertain your self.

I am in absolute quarantine because I´m over 75. I watch TV, mylot of course, read, do some cleaning and some cooking and pester my dog Luna a bit.I watch more news than what I did. And I daydream about where I will go when this is over. Now I am also into the freerice .com site because I am fearing a lot more famine than the virus. Many children will die.

@amadeo I Am fine because I am not poor. But I dread of what happens to poor people. I cannot do much. Once in a while I give beggars something to eat, but I don´t dare go out now. Now I rediscovered an online site that belongs to the UN (freerice.com) It helps poor people

I hope you guys have the best time at the lake! I actually do not think of being entertained too much . . . it is often tied to how I take care of family or the house . . . I am "entertained" by whatever comes my way. Right now I do a lot of cooking, kitchen scrap gardening indoors which has become outdoor gardening now, take walks, feed the birds, going to various areas to enjoy scenery with family . . . there is still a lot to do just for everyday life.

I think the best idea is to read books and listen to music. I have two dogs which I need to take out for walks. Taking a car journey to the ocean is a good idea. I love to visit a place called Sand Bay. It has sand hills and it is in a rural area. A wooded area overlooks it. At the end of it is Sand Point. It was a cliff side walk which is on high land. This offers beautiful ocean views.

If I had to start home I would clean more, out picked together and read books or play games with my family. But I've been working my normal shift since this began.

That will be such a lovely ride out for you two. Enjoy! I read, go for walks, chase grandkids, go for little drives, and watch the wild critters running around the mountains and pastures. We had a nice family BBQ last night.
