assistant: Hi Libby! <Big Grin>
So good to see you again.  I was just wondering about you the other
day.  Look for you on the rubberstamping newsgroup but never see you
(unless your address doesn't resemble your name <G>).  I know what you
mean about life passing you by.  I seldom can remember what day it is.
 I would love to meet with Vi.  One day if I can ever get it together
 and afford to fly out to see my mom and sister in Ukiah, CA, I'm going
 to get in touch with her (she's in the SF Bay area, I believe) before
 I head north from the airport.
 I always thought it was catchy, Libby. :-)  I've got a web page now,
 too. (Really Big Grin)  Billie and I have worked on it for almost 4
 months, learning the html language and putting it together.  I finished
 it up the other day and got it up to the server yesterday.  There are
 still a few things I need to work on, but it's up.  It's my ceramic and
 (some of) my porcelain doll line.  It's simple and direct.  No loud
 colors and no hollering.  Take a look and let me know what you think.
It's at http://www.goldinc.com/~bcohen/bcohen.html.
 We're so glad you did! :-)
 Lib, we changed IPs in January.  We were having a devil of a time getting
 around with the one we had.  Where we are now gets a tad slow occasionally,
 but it's surefooted when we want to get somewhere.  Our address is
 bcohen@goldinc.com.
 I wish you'd take a little more rain from us.  I daresay I'm beginning to
 grow webbed feet.  I can't go out into the yard without my shrimping
 boots! :-)
 Soooo good to hear from you, Libby.  Hope you'll be around awhile.
 Take care,
 Beverly
