The Adventure Continues During the Pandemic

I haven't written in a while. I passed all my classes in the Spring semester at George Mason University and am taking a summer course now. Not working and the pandemic has allowed me to get caught up on projects started long ago or had been in the "To Do Someday" bin.  Some had been in my mind but not started for 20 years or so.
I've been cleaning, organizing and down-sizing. I've also been crocheting baby blankets and making masks.
I bought a sling shot and am improving my aim. I started knife throwing, but it's still new and I need a LOT of practice. It's fun to take a 10 minute break every so often and throw a few. I'm so happy when they stick. I had no idea there were so many techniques to try. Watching the world champions do their tricks are so impressive. 
The garden is going well. Tons of cucumbers. Poor Keith had to plant them 4 times before they started growing. The chipmunks seemed to love them. I had to spray them twice a day with dish-soapy water every day to keep the vermin away.
My class this summer is Child and Adolescent Development in a Global Context. My professor is living in Indonesia, but another benefit of the pandemic is online classes. Learning so much.

 What about a tryptic?
