What to do during a Pandemic??

 I am one of those immuno-compromised people who pretty much have to "shelter-in-place" during this Covid-19 pandemic.  As with many people in my same circumstances, I live alone (well, I do have 6 cats, 3 dozens, a large flock of chickens and 2 goats!).  

Since I have to stay put, I figured this would be a good time to start learning new things.  YouTube has a massive library of "how-to" videos!!!  Oh my gosh!!!  Plus there are several websites that offer classes for a relatively small monthly fee.  Additionally, I have found several bakeries around the US that offer "virtual" on-line classes, Zingerman's in Michigan has a lot of great virtual on-line classes, most under $85.

Some of my favorite YouTube videos:

Some of the On-line classes I have taken include Udemy and Craftsy, both have excellent classes for small fees.  Well worth the time.

This is just a small sample of what you can find out in the "web."

Enjoy!!!
