Pandemic Survey
We thoroughly enjoyed the glimpse into your pandemic quarantine life. Thank you for sharing your activities with us to give us fresh ideas and recommendations to make the most out of this period of social distancing.
Big and little, your new purchases helped pass the time and boost your spirit.
We’ve bought 3 sets of Corn Hole Boards, one for us; one for our daughter and family; one for our son and family. Can hardly wait for a friendly tournament.
Some of you all are taking this time to get through some books, while others prefer to catch up on some tv shows. Here are a few of your recommendations:
“I Hear the Human Noise” by Dr. Ray Morrison, a book of short stories by the vet at Ard-Vista.
Thank goodness for all the tv options that we now have available, here are some of your favorite shows:

Some of you are Hamilton fans, but most of you didn’t jump on the chance to watch it when it came out on Disney Plus:
Question 7: Did you watch Hamilton when it came out on Disney Plus?
You could put these events on a bingo card and play Zoom bingo. Would you win?
Question 7: Has any of this happened on one of your zoom calls?
You kept moving!
In addition to the walking and biking, you played soccer, did Zumba, and gardened. You got your squats and planks in, as well as water aerobics, online Orangetheory classes, Crossfit, and split wood! We’ll even count your “walking to the refrigerator” response.
We asked you to rank your favorite new pandemic vocabulary terms.
We hope you’re staying 6′ away!
