A Virtual Time to Perform in August
By Kaye Osborn

It’s been a long intermission hasn’t it? Who knew the virus would continue to surge and change our landscape so drastically? You will be amazed how many are offered on-line. Many of our local performance venues are streaming virtual shows. Gallo Rep., Prospect Theater, and Modesto Symphony are some of the many available.

It is always fun to “play” with your family members.
Try writing some limericks. (see below)

A prolific writer named Kaye
With words and phrases, she’d play
Writing day and night
With all her might
She certainly has lots to say.

On a weekly basis, Kaye and Jerry enjoy volunteering in their daughter’s kindergarten class in North Highlands. Being grandparents to a bubbly, adorable little boy named Glen, who was seven in March and to a sweet, lovable almost 4-year-old Charlotte, is the BEST!
