THE CIRCLE: AN ARTISTIC RESPONSE by: YOU

The Circle is a small idea with a lot of heart. What if we could share everything that makes our smiles grow and our spirits soar. This magazine is a way to connect and learn about each other. If Mia paints something that she loves all she has to do is send it to Scout and bam! The whole neighborhood will know. In a world enveloped in social media and instant messages,

creativity can be lost. The Circle is an open platform where everyone has a voice. Whether that is an important announcement, a newly discovered recipe, or a cute picture of your dog. Let's see where this goes and have a great time. If you have something to share, text or knock on the Dingman's door and tell Scout: Founder and Editor of The Circle.

Don't forget, it can be anything! | 01

Jorge so generously delivered his fresh baked banana oatmeal muffins to the Dingman house.

Unfortunately, they ate them too fast for anyone to take a picture. Fear not! They did happen to capture the empty plate. Not only did Jorge perfectly execute the dish but he managed to do it without flour! That's right, food critic and fellow baker Scout Dingman commented "Ten stars, ten whole stars." The muffins where soft, chocolaty and had the perfect dose of banana. We are begging Jorge to make more and to keep them coming!

Sophie Zamora, his beautiful wife commented "Jorge made them! He wouldn't let me come near the bowl." Of course we needed to get the recipe ASAP. Interestingly enough, it comes from a website called yummy toddler food. So either those muffins were really for Mateo and Gaby or Jorge is just really tall compared to the Dingmans and thinks that they are babies. Not sure which is worse. Nevertheless, the family would like to send a THANK YOU to Jorge.

Who knew Jorge could bake?! Last we checked, he was the guy who pushed a ton of weights in front of his house.

Zoom: Table for 7 DINNER FROM A DISTANCE

Created by: Sophie Brandimarte and Scout Dingman

Quarantine has made it close to impossible to be with the ones you love.

Eating dinner with them, mask and glove free is unheard of. Until now.

Eighth graders Sophie and Scout found a way, one word, four letters: Zoom.

To switch it up even more, they created custom trivia questions, specific to their families.

Not only was it fun the first time, but it looks like it will become a weekly tradition.

This time, instead of saying cheese for the camera, you can say cheers.

Mask Making

The Easiest to Follow Mask Tutorial

3

With a global pandemic taking place, here's how to stay safe!

This tutorial truly only has three requirements: a bandanna, and two hair ties. You have most likely seen this method before, but if not feel free to follow along.

One of the most nerve racking parts of this all is figuring out how to truly feel safe. Speaking of safety, Gigi let us know that if you make an appointment at One Blood to donate, they will give you a free antibody test. Stay safe!

First, fold your bandana twice so that it becomes a long rectangle. Then slide a hairtie onto each edge and fold over. You now have an easy two-second mask!

Rock it, you look amazing.

FOLLOW HIM ON HIS TRAVELS

WHERE'S GLEN? Featuring Glen, his truck and their tomato plant

Just last week, Jane's brother Glen stayed with the Dingman's. Then, as soon as he had come he was gone. The big question is where's Glen?

Throughout his journey to Texas he has been sending pictures of him and his new truck. From what we've hear, he stopped in Jacksonville to surf, bought some fireworks and headed to Savannah. Along the way he picked up some flowers and a tomato plant which has now become the star of his photo shoots. Last night he reported that his car robot told him "Welcome to New York." We also learned that Tom the Tomato has fallen a few times off of the dashboard and doesn't feel so good. We are hoping for a full recovery. This morning he stopped by a stream to look for gold, instead he found a huge arrowhead. Find out what happens next on the Where's Glen? feature in The NOMADIC | 24 Circle. | 05

BADMINTON REDEFINES

Featuring the Dingmans and Difazios

"QUARANTINE"

Breaking news! You have probably seen it in action, but the Dingman's and DiFazios have recently taken up a new hobby: Badminton.

Neighborhood celebreties Mia and Adrian have played many times and think it's super. If you see Mia and Scout playing, you'll notice that they aren't the best on the team but feel free to join them. On the other hand when they are paired with Darrin and Jane they can keep the birdie in the air for a very long time. Remember to come and play the next time you see us!
