Weekly update

This week with the Chicks we caught up with each other’s family news and recipes.

 Barbara K. and her siblings gathered via “House Party” which I understand is another version of FaceTime or Zoom. She was challenged with the prospect of downsizing a cupcake recipe for 12 to enough for 1 since she didn’t want to be tempted to eat them all. 

Carole brought us up to date on her daughter’s growing belly full of twins.

Maureen is having fun providing day care for her 5 month old granddaughter.

Janna chauffeured her teenager daughter to a classmate’s house for a drive by sweet 16 birthday celebration parade. The friends arranged to meet in the high school parking lot and drove, parade style, through their friend’s neighborhood with horns blaring and balloons flying while the kids cheered through the sun roofs.

Dorah’s kitty, Dobby, made a guest appearance tonight by cuddling up to the ipad.

Debbie finished a hat and a pair of mittens for donation and Janna started a lovely star pattern Icelandic style hat for herself. She finished the body of a beautiful shawl for herself but put it aside for the time being as many, many stitches have to be picked up for a knitted border.

I am grateful for the technology that allows us to “visit” with each other each week during this time. It gives us something to look forward to every Tuesday evening. And I am grateful for Janna’s sister Annika and her tech experience for setting up our Zoom meetings each week.

Until next week, stay happy, stay healthy, stay home!
