I love zoom!

  Anyone else?

Side Note: Bright red geraniums just scream 'summer', don't they?

Unfortunately they're setting in our dining room right now becasue of the cool temps that keep lingering on... [SOC shot -]

Back to zoooooooooommmmmmm...

We first started zooming with Matt occasionally when he moved to NYC - 

And now it's quickly becoming, dare I say? A way of life?

It's definitely a *regular* part of my life these days - 

We enjoyed such a sweet zoom with my brother and sister-law's family on Easter!

This was our first experience with a large[er] group -

 

And now we're zooming with our Life Group each Sunday morning - 

I love how it allows us to connect and see faces of our Sunday School friends -

 I've also zoomed with a small group Bible Study that was wonderful as well!

And last weekend, for National Scrapbook Day, I joined in with Nicole's zoom crop. 

And I'll admit that before I joined in, I just wasn't sure how it would be -

 but I LOVED IT -

It really was so much like being in a crop room with friends who enjoy this hobby as much as I do! There was a couple of differences - being unable to purchase items I needed immediately - but also having ALL MY STUFF within reach...

[And I got so much done! I'll share some of that soon!]

So after zooming in all of these areas, I decided to set up a zoom meeting for our Bible Journaling Group that usually meets on the 2nd Saturday morning of each month. 

I was so happy my friend from North Carolina joined in!! 

I'm contemplating setting up another one each month so others can join together as well -- we'll see if I can get it on the calendar - 

 

 Mother's Day - we did a little shopping for Craig's mother 

and picked up lunch to share while we enjoyed visiting outside... 

All while social distancing [cameras can be deceiving -]

Positive Cases continue to 'grow' in our state with over 1500 new cases just this week

[from 8,206 on May 5th to 9,904 on May 11th] so we'll continue social isolation as much as possible for a bit longer -

 That evening we set up a zoom with the grand kids and it was just so sweet to catch up with everyone! Most all of us live in different cities and rarely had time to get together in person before the virus, so this was a treat to SEE and visit with each other. 

Thanks to all for joining in!

Hoping to have everyone next time! 

And hey, I've got a little zoom account now 

so let me know if anyone want to meet up -
