[Women] greetings -- Check-in

Mon Mar 23 08:49:36 CDT 2020

Hi Everyone.  I am fine.  My two sons have strongly insisted that I play no
more pickle ball (outside yesterday).  Since I usually fill my days with
some form of exercise (tennis, swimming, exercise class, pickle ball,
etc.)  I am now substituting more reading, more walking, spring cleaning
(UG), knitting, phone call chats, etc.  I believe we can all be more
resourceful.  There are free classes of all sorts on line, as well.  Stay
safe and keep your spirits up.  Nancy Luthy
