Before we dive in, we feel it’s important to remind everyone why social distancing for the next seven days is so critical. Together, we can shape the trajectory of the coronavirus in the US so please do your part to #flattenthecurve. If you are still on the fence about whether or not the US is overreacting, check out this video from our friends over in Italy. It’s what they would have told themselves 10 days prior, and being that we are about 10 days behind them on the coronavirus timeline it seems we should listen up.

What a week in Richmond! On the one hand, the weather has been beautiful, so we’ve been spending more time outside, and on the other, you can’t open your social media accounts without seeing at least a dozen or more mentions of COVID-19 aka Coronavirus. Should we be worried? What will happen? Only time will tell, but we’re personally keeping our eye on reputable sources, including Virginia Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control, and the World Health Organization.

We hope this week is everything you want to be. For us, that means lots of stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, puppy snuggles, naps, and family time. Thank you for being here.
