Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every

out of large groups and giving space really does provide opportunity to kill the virus,

is that right Gretchen? Yes, social distancing is a good thing.

Yeah, but what we really wanted to talk about today is what is this time that you're

sequestering yourself could become one of the most memorable sweet times of fellowship,

sweet times when you're together talking not on devices because I know that when I ask

my children, what are your favorite memories? It's never some big grand thing that we did,

you know, like going some place that costs us a lot of money, but what they remember are

the the cuddles and the the stories and the fireplaces and the hot chocolate and just

the times that we were together, the sleeping out under the stars on our deck, you know,

you didn't even have to take a tent. They remember the times that we cultivated beauty

right where we were. So we just wanted to talk with you today about what it looks like
