Today,
Tuesday, May 19th, the city of Lincoln employees will begin opening
up city controlled parks and playgrounds. This includes the ALMH
Fitness Court, Ray White Park, Postville Park, Melrose Park and
Allison Park. This DOES NOT INCLUDE Scully and Latham Parks that are
under the jurisdiction of the county. Nor does it include Memorial
Park by the Elks Golf Course or the Link & Fink Park that are under
the jurisdiction of the Lincoln Park District.
City crews will be removing the tape from the play areas. The
community is asked NOT to remove the tape before hand as the city
will also be spraying disinfectant at the play areas.
Community members using the park should remember to observe social
distancing and to also take your own disinfectant wipes or sprays
and clean equipment before and after use.
LDN will have additional information in a future edition on a
lengthy discussion held at the Monday night city council meeting
regarding its approach to returning to normalcy in our city.

Something
to do while staying at home:
-
Craft day!
-
Another cool and damp day ahead.
Today stay inside and try something a little more challenging.
Take two smaller jigsaw puzzles (500 pieces or less) and pour
all the pieces into a bowl. Mix them up, dump them out and
put together two puzzles at once!
-
Rainy days are great for slow cooking.
Prepare this home made Beef Stew and enjoy the cooking aroma all
day long!
-
There is rain in the forecast the rest
of this week. Use that time inside to learn a new craft -
Macramé. Learn your knots with shorter pieces of
inexpensive yarn. When you're ready, move on to jute or
sturdy cord and make your own plant hanger for outdoor use
later.
-
Time to take a nature walk.
Kickapoo Creek Park is open for hiking when observing social
distancing. Read the article - print the scavenger hunt
sheet and go for a walk. If you don't want to go to the
park, you can also find most of these items in our city and
county parks and maybe even in your own back yard!
-
For all our stay at home
parent/teachers and students you can take a great field trip to
a local museum right in front of your computer. View the
three part field trips of the Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln
College. Hosted by Anne Moseley and Ron Keller.
-
Sunday is Mother's Day and it can still be
a very special day for mom in spite of the stay at home orders.
Instead of taking her out to lunch guys, get in the kitchen with the
kiddos and make her a special brunch/breakfast. Here are easy,
kid friendly recipes to choose from.
-
AND REMEMBER if you are not sheltering
with your mother, give her a call!
-
We know this has gone on for WEEKS now.
Our little ones especially may have become restless and need a
little help to stay at their best. Try creating a Reward Chart
for each one. Customize it with chores they can do, homework
goals, and acts of kindness they show to one another. Then,
give them a reward to work toward with their good behavior and
helping around the house.
