I have used Webex and Doxy.....but not ZOOM.....  I am sure that will change as the summer progresses and we decide what kind of virtual production we will do for the 2020 season at PCPH.

I got out my copy of Valley of the Dolls last night and began reading it.

It's quite the page turner.  And there are so MANY characters in it that are not even mentioned in the MOVIE - it's not a GOOD book, but it is entertaining.

I've been to mailbox and market, and I'm ready for a nap.

I read Valley of the Dolls...hmm, maybe ten or twelve years ago, it was definitely before I had come to this site. I would never have expected it to be something I’d be much interested in reading, but boy, was I surprised. You are right, DR Jrand69, it is most entertaining.

I started using Skype too many years ago to remember. Zoom I started using for work about nine months ago. Some outside sales people used it for a presentation. I now use it gor bible study and for happy hour get-togethers. It’s soon to replace Skype st work. WhatsApp has a FaceTime feature, which is free and great for calling Germany.

Re Zoom:  First time I used it was last month when my friend Robin hosted an online birthday party for a certain superstar.  We chatted, sang "Happy Birthday," and those of us with cakes blew out the candles.   Her concert director showed up for a few minutes.   Yes, we are aware that we are crazy.

Another (Facebook) group started using Zoom last Saturday.  We introduced ourselves and told our stories (mostly about when our fascination with Ms. S began).  In the future, members who have had unique experiences (such as attending the taping of "My Name is Barbra" or seeing "Funny Girl" on Broadway) will speak.

Nice.  I hope you enjoy the group.

My sister Paula wanted to go to Lowe's and buy some flowers and mulch and top soil.....so I went with her.

I wanted to get a hanging flower basket for the back porch.....and I also got a Sunset Gerber Daisy - which I had never heard of before, but it was very eye catching.

Author Helen Simonson shared her thoughts on not being able to have a funeral for her father during these times.

Rethinking bereavement:

I think it is comforting thoughts for any times when people cannot be together to mourn.

I love Gerbera Daisies.  Will there be a photo of this particular one?

I think I hurt my back yesterday doing yard work. Or maybe I am just old.

I had a third company come out to do an estimate on residing the house. It’s the best I’ve received but they can’t do the stucco. So I will eventually have to find a company to do the fourth wall.

I think it's called a Sunset because of the colors...

The flower is about as big as a half dollar coin.

I need to get up and clean, dust, something.  I have rested long enough after our 4.5 mile walk in spite of everything hurting this morning.
