On
Tuesday afternoon, Governor JB Pritzker announced that he had
extended the Illinois Stay at Home Order to April 30th. We know that
for many of you, and us at LDN as well, that is a hard pill to
swallow, but we have a duty to support that decision.
We're giving you a little heart this morning, to help you all know
that there are a lot of us going through this and trying to take
heart and show you our love from the inside out, literally.
The center pic is super cute, good for April Fool's Day, and we hope
it makes you smile. It was submitted via our Facebook page by Angie
Brooks. Shannon Neibuhr Gonzalez provided the two flanking pictures.
We draw your attention to the large top heart in the right-hand
photo. It expresses [love] "to the world," a sentiment we hope all
will share.

It's
a real bummer for a pre-teen when celebrating your birthday means no
party, no special time with family, and no chance to celebrate it at
school with your BFF's. So when Elayna Marten of Mount Pulaski
celebrated her 12th birthday, she wasn't expecting anything special.
However, her friends and family had a different idea. Instead of
gathering together for a party, those who know and love Elayna had a
COVID-19 Birthday Parade past her house! In a bad situation, they
gave Elayna a happy memory and a birthday she will never forget.
Some day, when she is old and gray, she can tell her grandkids about
the year she had her own special birthday parade!
