When I first started thinking about this, I could only remember one thing. I canned peaches for the first time. When I had had fresh peaches to put up before, they would have been frozen. Thanks to Livesay Orchards in Porter, good peaches are only about an hour away during the season. I had given up on peaches that came from far away because they never seemed to have any taste or juice. Of course, the very first thing should have been that I have never contributed to a blog before. It's not something I had thought about doing at all. That was for someone else to do and for me, maybe, to read. I hadn't done Zoom before, but now that seems old hat. For one other invitation to talk about the pandemic and its impact on people like me, I used Google Meet. It is different in the way people appear on the screen. The other two people had young children with compromised immune systems. Even though I am also in a more vulnerable group, I was glad I didn't have to try to explain or help children who were really vulnerable. I became a notary and that was due to the pandemic as the Oklahoma legislature decided ballots would have to be notarized, until the governor declared a state of emergency. I still think it will come in handy in the future when the pandemic is over or, at least, abates. I did a couple of outdoor notary events. I was in on the planning for two virtual accountability sessions. I am glad I didn't have to figure out the logistics of the meeting. It is quite different to be in a Zoom meeting with 200 people as opposed to the six we usually are. I am pretty sure none of this would have happened if life had continued to go on the way it was. Challenges due also present opportunities. I am good on challenges for now. --Carolyn
