Perhaps you remember my grandma Lenny, the Trader Joe's enthusiast who is full of life advice and words of wisdom.
Unfortunately these days, my grandma isn't shopping at Trader Joe's because due to COVID-19, she's staying home as much as possible.
My grandma is, nonetheless, staying happy and healthy during the pandemic. She's mastered the technology of Zooming, she's started gardening, she walks around her neighborhood every day, she celebrated her 93rd birthday, and she met her first great-grandchild. As always, she has some advice for us all.
