Remote-life for fun

We have been able to continue most of the things we enjoy with the wondrous magic of teleconferencing.  It’s not the same, but we welcome the pale substitution for prior entertainment and enrichment.

Sam’s class meets daily Tue – Fri to visit, review lessons, and read Charlotte’s Web.

Some mornings it’s hard to pay attention.

Last Thursday one of his classmates had a chick hatching out of its egg right during the conference.  Sam thought it was really cool to see!  The next day they showed him again, all fluffed and dry.  

Jack has meetings twice a week with a small group from his class too.  

Three times he’s had conferences with his two best friends just to talk.  He’s showing off Nimbus to them.

My Zumba teacher is offering class via Zoom for donations.  I’ve been doing it weekly all month. 

 It’s hard to get as good a workout from home.  The cats are very distracting too.  Freddy likes to brush against the screen and flop in my floor space.    

Trevor’s friend set up a “Geeks Who Drink” style trivia game on Zoom.  He does it every two weeks, and this Friday will be our third time.  It’s SUPER fun.  A great way to see friends and feel like you are doing something different from routine.  We’ve played with Cate and Trevor and their friends the first week.  Last week’s team was Nate & Miranda and Mavi & Jeff.  This week’s team is TBD, as we try to get as many on who can. 

Last weekend we played online Jackbox games with the Walkers in Idaho.  The sound and audio wasn’t great between families, but the gameplay worked well and we could kinda talk.  

So much fun can come out of a little computer!

Sweet Sweater

I finished my birthday sweater earlier last month.  Less than two weeks to complete – I love working with bulky yarn for big warm sweaters!

 

 

Although we had some snow days since I finished the project, I haven’t worn it yet.  No where to go, no one to see, and couch days are not worthy of hand-knits!
