I got up to an alarm, got showered and got ready because I was excited to Zoom with my ABC friends. in Sept 2013 a group of 18 was formed when 1 G Adventures guide, Nury , met with 7 Americans, 4 Brits & 6 Canadians in Lima, Peru, to begin a great tour that would bond these people together in friendship and further adventures right up until 2020 and beyond.
It was unfortunate that Celia from Santa Fe and The Newtons from BC were unable to join us. I used the Newton’s as my backdrop to bring them in.
I really didn’t want the conversation to end, it was so great to be catching up with everyone but we’ve made a plan to try and do it once a month. I find great value in keeping connection with people of a shared experience. For someone who has been divorced three times it is hard to go through life with so many great adventures and yet no one to chat about the memory, no one to reminisce about the moments that we shared together so I greatly appreciate the memories we hold as a group. Different connections have definitely been made, deeper relationships between different folks and I don’t know for sure my place in all the relationships but I do know the depth in the special one and that holds all the value for me. My life is enriched and uplifted by connection.
I spent a good part of the day getting ready for the Tupperware party I was having tonight and sending out messages for the host getting ready to zoom. it’s a new world where we zoom everything that used to be a house party so I am learning it and in a way I am advantaged because I don’t have to adapt to it, it is new for me in Tupperware world so I am just having the fun of learning it and making the best of it
While I was working away I heard footsteps running quickly up to my door then a knock and then running away and immediately I knew what it was. the Rona fairy had arrived. I open my door to find a bag with a bottle of wine and some chocolates. that made me so happy that someone in my community had reached out to bless me. it felt like instant karma for sending out all my postcards yesterday and on top of it it was a Apothic Dark which I love.
The rest of my evening was pretty much tied up with the Tupperware party which turned out to be a whole Lotta fun. We had a zoom party under the theme you can leave your hat on so ladies showed up in hats with alcohol in hand and I did a bunch of demos and it was lovely to catch up with mostly my theatre ladies in Cranbrook I enjoyed doing a demo of sangria in the cold brew coffee maker. Raspberries and peaches in the centre Smoky Bay wine and let steep.
Honestly the evening didn’t end on the best note because I checked in with work to confirm my vacation that is supposed to start on Monday to find out that I had missed a staff meeting while working from home and didn’t know that all vacation was on hold until after 31st of May. I am disappointed and that is all I will say about the subject
