Quarantined Bunco! COVID19 Social Distancing Bunco! Whatever we call it, we gathered via Zoom and 8 of us met face to face on our laptops, desktops, phones and iPads. It was WONDERFUL to see each other and talk about how life is moving on.
Lisa told us a few 1st grade stories about her virtual classroom. 27 kids at once on her monitor, her teaching, them asking questions, some picking their noses. WOW, a big thank you to Lisa and all the educational professionals who made it all happen to educate our kids on-line.
Kris has sold her house and she is living the dream in an RV waiting for a new house to be built. No social distancing for her and Peach.
Dawn is working long hours from home keeping our lights on and will probably continue to work from home through the end of this summer. A big shout out to her main man, Lynn, on his retirement from the Mountain Home School District. Lynn touched so many young people who walked through his classroom. It was nice to see Lynn jump into our Zoom chat for a minute as we congratulated him on his retirement. Their son Ben is soon to be a dad later this summer. Great news!
Tammy B shared with us her happy news that her daughter was married in Featherville over the weekend. Congratulations on your new son-in-law and wishing them the best. Tammy was also in a quiet room which seemed unusual with FOUR grand kids in her house! Doors and locks really work.
Tammy H was excited she was able to get her hair done over the weekend. Aren't we all happy salons are now reopened with new protocols. Good-bye gray! Her on-line shopping has picked up and her card board box stash has multiplied greatly. Tom popped into the screen to say hello.
Toni R had technical help from her grand daughter, and was able to join us using video by SWIPING. Thank goodness for smart little kids!
Lorretta was joining us for the first time as a full time member of our Bunco group! We are so happy to have Lorretta, and what a way to usher in her first month using Zoom. Lorretta joined us a tad late as she was on a previous Zoom call to celebrate her mother-in-law's 85th birthday! How cool is that! I wonder if we will be Zooming when we are 85?
I am back in the office after working from home for 6 weeks. Fred and I had to agree who was going to take over the office, the breakfast bar and the kitchen. He's been retired for 20 years and I was in his space during my work from home. But, we managed and honestly, it was the best 6 weeks ever being at home - together - and not in isolation.
Thank you Zoom for removing the 30 minute time limit on our chat to unlimited time!. I don't know if that will be forever, or was just for our first Zoom call, but I use the free version instead of paying $14.95 per month so the extra time was appreciated.
I'll schedule another Zoom Bunco night on June 17 at 7 pm. I hope we all can join. I'll send out the email link the day before or the day of so it's sitting in your inbox with the pass code.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay connected!
