>> Betsy -
>>    This is a lovely piece your sister wrote and produced.   My ear hears the similarity in your voice and hers, though I know you were not part of it.   Remarkable how family voices can be like that.
>> 
>> I was delighted to hear from each on the class visit yesterday.   The orderliness gave us each our time of speaking and listening and I learned much.  I so appreciate the book and movie recommendations as well as the news of all.
>> 
>>    When a gathering is of familiars and for the purpose of socializing, I MUST learn to mute myself on Zoom meetings where a host doesn't control the mute (which is how church on Zoom is managed for service; then we're let loose into Breakout rooms).   I get so excited to see and chat with others, I'm back to my elementary school challenge of "speaking out of turn."    (I was just as inclined to be in trouble for not "staying in my seat" in grade school ...).

>>> Here is the song that my sister Peggy wrote for her Threshold Choir.  Sandy, you can access both song and sheet music on the Threshold website.  The singing isn’t perfect, because she’s performing all the parts herself on Garage Band, but it gives you an idea of the sort of music she (and Sandy) are doing.  It’s such a worthwhile cause, and I know they all miss performing now that the pandemic has closed everything down.
