ZOOM!

IT’S AMAZING TO ME THAT ‘ZOOM’ SHOWED UP FOR THE WORLD JUST WHEN WE NEEDED IT.

WE HAD BEEN USING ‘SKYPE’ FOR YEARS WITH OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN SO FAR AWAY AND IT HAS BEEN A GREAT WAY TO STAY CONNECTED.  BUT BEING ABLE TO SEE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON THE SCREEN AT ONCE HAS BEEN A GODSEND IN THESE TIMES OF SEPARATION. 

THE ATTACHED PHOTO IS OF US PLAYING ‘CODENAMES’ ON ZOOM.  TERRY FIGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT AND WE HAVE SPENT ONE NIGHT A WEEK PLAYING IT WITH VARIOUS FAMILY MEMBERS . SO FUN !  

THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH CHOIRS AND CAST MEMBERS SINGING ‘TOGETHER’ (YET IN THEIR OWN HOMES) AND I THINK I HEARD YOU CAN HAVE UP TO 100 PEOPLE ON IT AT ONCE. AMAZING! 

YESTERDAY I HAD THE CHANCE ONCE AGAIN TO VISIT WITH THREE OF MY BEST FRIENDS ON ZOOM.  ROSE IS FROM WATERLOO, ONTARIO, BARB IS FROM TECUMSEH, ONTARIO , AND MARY IS FROM CALGARY, ALBERTA.  INCREDIBLE TO ME THAT ZOOM PUT US ALL TOGETHER SO THAT WE COULD CHAT AND LAUGH FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. THIS MIGHT SEEM LIKE A COMMERCIAL FOR ZOOM …HA HA…BUT IF YOU HAVEN’T TRIED THIS IT REALLY IS A GREAT WAY TO BE ‘TOGETHER’ DURING THESE DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS…AND GOD FORBID ..YEARS AHEAD OF US.
