EDITORIAL

EDITOR
Lyndi Mauk
Warm weather is finally here, and since we have been practicing social distancing for quite some time now, there is nothing better than being able to get outside in the fresh air! My daughter loves being outside, so we have been soaking it up. She has played on her swing set, ridden her bike, played chalk, soccer, golf and the list could go on. I love watching her imagination bloom.

Ashley Gleason Let me just say how much I appreciate our amazing teachers. This was my daughter’s first year of preschool, and although she didn’t get to finish her school year, we still took a “Last Day of School” photo at home. She missed her teachers, her friends and learning. I tried to continue working on what they were learning before the schools closed, but I didn’t realize how hard it would be teaching preschool. I had to mix lessons up to keep her engaged, since she didn’t have the interaction of her classmates. This has all been an adjustment as our temporary norm, but we are all in this together. In this issue, we have featured stories on the Downtown Henderson Partnership’s efforts to help our community come together by supporting local businesses and staying engaged, and how three individuals have balanced homeschool and work. There are also stories on how the Henderson County Schools immediately stepped up to provide meals for our amazing students during this unexpected pandemic, and the cancellation of The Addams Family musical. We want to wish all the fathers in our community a Happy Father’s Day, and we want to thank our advertisers for your continued support. You are the reason we are a FREE magazine. Let’s enjoy this time together at home with our families as we continue social distancing, praying for our loved ones, our community, our country and everyone around the world.

Lyndi's Top Picks Family Time
Through the current situation we are facing, my family has, and always will be, my rock. They are always my favorite, but especially during a time such as this. We are slowing down, and we have been able to spend a lot more quality time together, whether it’s at the dinner table, watching a family movie, working puzzles or playing board games.
CONTRIBUTING
SOCIAL DISTANCING EDITION: Cooking
Since we can’t go out to dinner right now, it has forced this wife/mommy to spread my wings in the kitchen when it comes to cooking. I have a stack of recipe books, but I never venture out to try a variety of new things. If you are like me, I have tons of recipes saved on Pinterest, but I haven’t tried very many. Therefore, I have put in the effort to try new recipes during this pandemic. It gives my family a variety, and a chance to try something different.

DISTRIBUTION Being Outside
Everyone who knows me knows I am not an outside person when it comes to summer, unless it involves water. If I am at the lake or at the pool, then I will go outside every day. Besides that, I do not like being out in the hot weather for long periods of time. This year is much different though. Constantly having to be inside the house makes you excited to go outside. Maybe we will run around during a summer shower in the rain, jumping puddles and laughing. We will go for walks, play tag in the yard, go on outside scavenger hunts and so much more!
