Covid Christmas 2020

Covid arrived in late 2019 and affected us all in 2020. We zoomed, texted, and sent mail. We ordered things online. We shared resources (toilet paper). And generally did what we could to stay in touch.

The gang is almost all here. Missing Nancy and Janet.
We saw ghosts.
And we had bugs – literal and technological.
We had makeup tutorials – sometimes with marginal success.
We had Show and Tell Zooms. This is a “lovely” piece of jewelry on display.
We loved wearing masks. (sarcasm font)
We enjoyed the magic of Zoom.

Olivia appreciated her TP rescue.
Joanna shared some mask tips.

Julie was sad when we missed a Zoom.

Cindy was up to her shenanigans again.

It was a tough year but we kept it together because that’s what friends do!

Merry Christmas 2020.

Gingerbread Christmas 2018

We met at Joanna’s house November 30 – Dec 2 2018 for our annual Christmas party and gift exchange. Julie and Gina planned and Joanna offered her lake house as the location. The first picture is a group photo at Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa. It was taken on Saturday. The rest of the photos are in chronological order.

A cozy day for watching the UGA game.
This game calls for the big screen.
And, this game calls for a little extra Cardinal help.

And now we begin the Cindy Photo Fest. That’s what happens when you wake up as early as the photographer.
