Just had my first "Zoom" meeting...

My sister set it up, it was her, my Mom, (who is in an assisted living facility) and myself.

It was good to see Mom again, I talk to her on the phone, but seeing her was great.

So many new technologies out there!

If you really want to amuse yourself and others, go into Preferences, select Virtual Background and choose or upload your own background. I've been having a good time with those. One of mine is "The Scream."

I've had three of these so far, the first for Mother's Day, the other two for planning my daughter's wedding next year. What was cool is that she took over my screen to show me pictures of the venue, menus, etc.

It's not a replacement for in-person meetings, but it works pretty good, even if we do have a congregation full of old folks with very little computer savvy.
