A visit to Antarctica and other April 2021 pandemic activities

 I didn't go to Antarctica but this presentation by fellow DKG member (Patti Rahn of Omicron) is so fascinating. It was a workshop tied to our recent Spring Convention. I hope sharing it here is okay- it was on You Tube, but maybe that is just a temporary platform. 

A Visit to Antarctica

This post vaccine month hasn't been too different from the last year of pandemic stay homedness, but we managed to keep busy.

Let's see....

Attended Cindy Hady's online class with guest teacher Rona Kaye (and opened a paypal account just for her!)

I was delighted to attend a virtual tour of The Barnes Collection

(thanks to Rutgers Alumni and Jane Murphy telling me about it).

Tom and I went for a walk on this beautiful 80 degree late April day.

Then there was the fun of Jennifer's bingo cards for watching the Academy Awards with. (Surprise! Chadwick didn't win which led to a very anti-climatic ending to the show.)

This year's TCNJ Alumni weekend had some virtual events I was interested in: trivia and bingo. I didn't win, but it was fun, even though most of the alumni were really young!

The virtual NJREA Spring general membership meeting went smoothly. (I hope our BCREA one is too!)

The SHIP Spring training was also virtual.

I have been to  many of their online trainings this season.

After the cancellation of the 2020 DKG convention, they decided to hold this year's virtually. It was so well planned and executed!

The workshops were available separately. (See the Antarctica link above).

It was a two day event.

We have been dancing outside Prospectors. They hope to get permission for inside dancing asap

Upcoming: We just heard the roofers are coming to do the job on Tuesday at 7 a.m. Whoo hoo! (That means we are okay with the Tiver soft wash on the scheduled May 11)

Tom's eye surgery May 24, reconstruction May 25, hip replacement June 30

Potential visit with Sue and Patrick May 3 (in Philadelphia for dinner not here?)
