Saturday CarolynD, Jacque, LindaBW, GailPC, MarieW, SheilaMcC, and JuneA, joined JoanB and me for a TOWN ZOOM visit. It was the first TOWN ZOOM for GailPC and SheilaMcC, so we were happy to hear how they were doing. Gail and hubby Thomas are mostly staying at their place near Dripping Springs. They have started a tradition of going outside and howling with their neighbors at 8 PM. Gail said it has been a fun way to connect each day. Sheila is continuing to work and enjoyed our visit while sitting outside watching her hummingbirds. We caught up on what folks have been cooking (bread, peanut butter cookies, etc.), but Marie has to get the weekly culinary prize for making loquat jam. Pitting the loquats is a labor of love. Recommendations for TV shows included Schitt’s Creek and Unorthodox, both on Netflix. Linda and Tom are looking forward to kayaking this week, and Joan and I got some highly prized day passes to Ink’s Lake. Hope you are safely getting out to soak up some sunshine and fresh air also!
This week’s pictionary category was a movie and SheilaMcC correctly guessed “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Marie won the bingo game and sits atop the TOWN Bingo Leaderboard (MarieW – 2, LindaBW – 1, JamieE – 1). Finally, MarieW shared her Zentangle “Renewal.” I was unfamiliar with Zentangle, so I looked it up and learned that it is a method to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Her drawing starts with a virus, mask, and broken hearts and evolves into faith, regrowth, sunshine and and full hearts. It is very inspirational and we greatly appreciated her gift of sharing this message of hope.
Perhaps you can join us for the next TOWN ZOOM. Until then, stay safe and stay strong.
Remember you are a TOWN member, so you are never alone!
