This is where I've been for about half of each week for the past year and a half, overseeing the construction of our retirement residence. Our new home is across the laneway from where we used to live and which our daughter, Lindsay, bought 6 years ago. Construction, in its final stages, has slowed as only one contractor, be it tiler, carpenter, electrician, painter or plumber, will be working at a time on their last details. We are currently residents in the apartment half of Lindsay's, sharing lots of activities such as meals, children's (3) lessons, hikes, cooking, indoor and outdoor games, much reading aloud, music, dancing ...on.and on. Lindsay does the shopping (won't allow us near the grocery). Quite an adventure. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Our other daughter, Erika, is daily at work as head of nursing at the Philadelphia VA Hospital. We worry about her safety, though Nancy, as a nurse herself, knows she will not waiver in her commitment to the profession. Her girls are at home with their dad, an attorney, who is working remotely, and has taken the role of head teacher, chief cook and and twice daily disinfecter of the doorknobs, kitchen space, and sinks. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Best wishes and positive thoughts for all of you and your beloved others.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"> Judy</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Apr 5, 2020 at 8:18 PM jackie cleverly via oxford63 <<a href="mailto:oxford63@mailman.cyber-community.com">oxford63@mailman.cyber-community.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Now i have never written on this community but actually I do readof all of you and smile as I remember my 7-9th grade years. Betsy C. was no doubt the impetus in having me in this group. I am actually home in the states as i was serving in Ireland. For those
of you who dont know I am a nun. I know the last person you would have suspected. Ho Ho I sometimes think that way myself. Anyway I am going to come on sat April 11 at noon. I believe I can make it. If I get the link I know how to be part of the meeting. I
was a school teacher all my life and taught on zoom from overseas. Looking forward to seeing you all thank you for including me. I have such fond memories of our class and of some of you particularly. Glad you are all safe and healthy and maybe a bit sane
and your families as well.

So glad to hear from so many! What a great idea to Zoom! Our family is doing well so far despite to all the adjustments! Having 3 teachers in our fsmily, I hope the profession finally gets the attention it deserves!
