Zooming With Family

We had our second Zoom gathering with family today. Actually, our third.

March 15th evening - Kris and Safira's birthdays. The families in UK could not join us as it was in the middle of their night. It's always special when Jyoti and Sanjay join in as I see them so rarely. Glenn's family were all present. Nen, Tanisha and the Hosur gang were very late and missed seeing the birthday people.

April 11th morning - Glenn's 70th birthday. From experience I learned that the time spent together is better enjoyed when it is moderated. Gordie started with welcoming everyone. We sang Happy Birthday. The siblings and Mum shared a few memories we had of Glenn growing up. Gordon planned a quiz.Was nice that the UK families could join in. Also two of Sandra's brothers called in. Henry from Dubai and Sabu, I'm guessing from Kerala.

April 27th morning - Tanisha and Sanjay's birthdays. We also squeezed in a little for Nen as she had just had one. To date this has been our most successful conference. At least with regard to attendance.  Even Maggie was there. The only ones missing were Preeti, Chris, and Andy.

Mum relishes this time as she gets to see the faces of her children and grand-chidlren. With her headphones, she is able to follow the conversation.
