Pandemic events

 I played my new (August 8) jeopardy board with my Contact book group tonight. It was fun (especially since I wasn't able to get a hold of The Silent Patient in time ). (Actually, I had the Statts' dancing zoom up in the background, but I didn't have a chance to participate except for Intoxication and Bump and Grind).

Also today I traveled to the Eastampton Manor House to pay my quarterly tax bill (which was increased and did NOT include a Homestead rebate reduction due to uncertainty of NJ finances during the pandemic) and went outside with Tom to replace our shed covering.

 Tom was very brave climbing.

I am very concerned about schools opening unsafely, while being very glad I am retired.

Sue's birthday

 I created a new jeopardy board called August 8 in  honor of Sue's birthday and I am dying to play it with people, but at Patrick's zoom for Sue's party we just played her Jeopardy (again). It was fun, but I realize more than 6 or so people makes it hard to be heard. 

Speaking of zooms, we were shocked with some porn invasion at Carol's dancing zoom Friday night. I don't know how they got in, but they were gone when we left and came back. It was pretty x-rated for sure.

Interesting observation: as we watched Antman and the Wasp I realized as they were rescuing the mother from the quantum realm that it was the exact same situation as Aquaman and his mother. Who knew? I think those moms could be good friends. Right? It reminded me of the time I realized Rainman and Twins had the same theme: two brothers, separated all their lives find each other, are not compatible at first, but bond strongly as they get to know each other. 

A Great Adventure

My misleading title is alluding to the fact that later this afternoon I am driving to Carlucci's parking lot to pick up two face masks I bought as a fund raiser from Carol.

Yes, getting out of the house at all during this pandemic is an adventure. :-(

There are so many disheartening situations going on now, not the least of which is the school opening decisions that the education communities around the country are agonizing over. So sad.

Jeopardy!

So I made this Jeopardy to play with Sue and Patrick and Jennifer and Tom the next time we zoom. The title is "My Corona 2020"

Make Your Own Jeopardy Game with JeopardyLabs!

I think they will like it.

Out and about ....not much

We celebrated our 21st anniversary the day after the actual day because of rain. It was outside dining at Robins Nest....delicious!

We also enjoyed looking through our wedding albums.

Aren't we so cute?

In other news, I am awaiting my new replacement credit card since the old one's number was used by someone not me (!) (always so scary and worrisome).

Independence Day

July 4th and the pandemic beat goes on as we enter the second half 2020, a year that will live in infamy.

We had fun today, zooming with our CA siblings, playing Jennifer's Jeopardy. (Sue won, but we all had fun!)

Tom's itchy poison ivy is keeping him awake in the night and uncomfortable in the daytime. Poor Tom!

I am looking forward to our Michelle Obama's Becoming discussion at the zoom book club meeting tonight (July 5th).

Tom's barbecued and it was good. :-)

June is bustin' out....

They will be exercising in the Max parking lot tonight, dancing in the Prospectors parking lot Saturday afternoon, restaurants with outdoor dining are open for business June 15, and hair salons open on June 22nd.
I am cautiously excited, but not jumping right out there.

Oh, and it appears Tom has cancer.

In other news, who ever figured I'd have a frequent caller issue with SHIP?

Speaking of volunteering, the from home crisis calls are getting busier and Theresa is retiring as Executive Director June 30th. Marty and I organized a Photo book of pictures and peoples' tributes and memories for her (she didn't want a party or other big hoopla event). Boy, will we miss having her in charge!

I just invested in a year's subscription of zoom hosting. I have been doing a lot and expect to continue even with things opening up. I like it.
