Zooming along

The zoom birthday party. It didn't work so well at singing Happy Birthday. But it was great to see everyone (except the 3 grands who are grown.)

I've not seen all three of my sons together since the oldest got married in April 2019. And it was a bit hard to see all three together at that event...so this was really special!

PS...adding a screen shot from one of my sons...his view of the occasion.

  1. Nice little birthday treat for you.
    I am thinking that Fred McMurray should have been there with the three sons.
    Now why did I think of that and even remember his name? It has been so long.

    1. Of course I remember Fred McMurray, though not the actor who played his housekeeper. Good old times.

  2. Hello,
    The zoom birthday party is great, during these times. I know you must miss seeing them all in person.
    Take care, enjoy your day!

    1. Once I moved to the city where one of my sons and his children lived, so I could see them more than once a month that I'd been able to while driving 4 hours to their city. Didn't work. I had to really push to still see them once a month. Busy people!

    1. I think zoom and skype and facetime have replaced the regular phone, and there's new things like texting and twitter that are right behind. Dick Tracy's wrist phone is here.

    1. I like the format with the 4 households. When our church group has 12-14 people, it's hard to have a conversation.

  5. It's wonderful that the technology allows you to have such a video celebration.

  6. How nice--we're all going to be doing more and more of this, I suspect.
