We are all trying to figure out what the ‘New Normal’ is now, as some states start to open up, and lots of people don’t seem to understand why we wear masks and keep social distancing. I hope that the people around you are participating so you can keep each other safe.
Fortunately my kids agree that now is not a good time to be out socializing, so I know they are showing their love by keeping our family safe. Sophie is working full time in the warehouse with our eQuilter staff. She and everyone else here is wearing a mask, social distancing, and following all the health and safety protocols to keep us and you safe. We’ve had a surge of orders from all of you sewing at home, so we are all working long hours to get your orders out the door. Thank you for your patience.
Today is Mothers Day, and it is the strangest holiday I’ve ever experienced. My mom is in a nursing home in lockdown, and I haven’t seen her in person for 2 months. This week is Sophie’s last week of high school, and her graduation was supposed to be next weekend. Paul and I are marking our 25th wedding anniversary this week too. However we will be home celebrating quietly to mark all of these events. We feel very fortunate that we are all healthy so we can continue to serve you during this historic time. I know you are all in similar situations.
We hope that you can also have a quiet Mothers Day full of love and appreciation for the simple joys of life. At times like this we focus on what is most important – the loving affection, traditions and sewing skills we have received from our mothers and grandmothers seem even more precious now.
From all of us at eQuilter.com, we wish you a very Happy Mothers Day!
Luana and Paul
