October 9, 2021…

…Claire joins after her writers’ group…zoombies learn that Scott broke a leg…Sylvie and Scott discuss ‘clean’ break (Scott’s) vs. the other kind (not dirty), Sylvie’s…Christina announces some puppies are leaving today, others, tomorrow…pictures are shared…zoombies are sad…

…then Christina shows wide-mouth mason jar containing granola made using Sage’s recipe…delicious…we’re told…but no samples…so…leap of faith…

      …Vivi shows cake made with parsnips…again…no samples…zoombies asked to make another leap of faith…

…Scott shows off new golden laptop replacing decades-old laptop…says it’s beautiful…leap of faith…

…all wanting to help Claire practice ‘sharing’ on zoom, zoombies demonstrate ‘cooperative overlapping’…

…then‘let her ‘try it’ from a responsible adult in the squares…and…

…then voilà…success…

…this thread leads Vivi to comment ‘six puppies are better than 3 horses’…to which Claire adds ‘living in a van is better than living on a boat’…forcing Sylvie to say that having tried this seemingly familiar ‘would you rather…’ technique with middle school students…it can get very inappropriate very quickly…zoombies!…then Christina suggests a page for famiglia aphorisms…oh yup…right…perfect…

…saying bibi…zoombies are surprised that zoom dog is quite small sitting on the rug…rather than perched on the back of the sofa…au ‘gros plan’…
