The Star Eagle would like to know!
What are you doing to keep busy during this “Shelter in Place” order?
I don’t think I’ve ever spent as much time as I have now on the phone with friends and family.
Some of you know, but some years ago, I’d say six or seven, maybe more, my mother took in a friend of my brother and gave him a place to stay. He became a member of the family. After awhile he met his wife and she became family, as well as their beautiful daughter they have together, Nevaeh.
Recently I was on the phone, facetiming the family, as I was here at work at the office. Katy, Matt’s wife, the ones I mention above, had an idea. Why don’t you put something together and ask your readers to submit a word, a phrase, a sentence, anything, to talk about what they’re feeling during these uncertain times? I couldn’t agree more, and she wasn’t the only one with the idea.
I was typing up Bob’s column, (He hand-writes his columns.) and as I was reading, he mentioned he and his wife have been calling up people and asking, “How are you doing?” He encourages them to do the same.
I encourage you to do the same. Call up your neighbor, family friend and check in on how they are doing. That said, I would like to ask you, the reader, “How are you doing? What are you feeling, thinking about, and doing to help pass the time?”
What I’m hoping is that you will submit a response to us at the Star Eagle. The best way to reach us is either to e-mail us at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or send postal mail to: P.O. Box 248, 128 N. Broadway, New Richland, MN, 56072.
