Hello everybody: I usually try to send individual e-mails to separate people, but with school starting on Thursday (this year, we'll have one in 3rd & one in 5th), my kids seem hell-bent on driving me crazy-trying to squeeze every last bit of summer out of the last week! So, here I go again. Camilla-thanks for passing along the post of Hilary's...I gave it to my daughter to read & she said, "Mom, I have always wanted you to french-braid my hair, too!" So thanks to Hilary, too! When I get my life back, I will try to think of some questions as you suggested. To Rita Weeks-Thanks to you also for the great letter you sent about pen-pals; I passed it along to Allison. I'm afraid that at 10 yrs. old, the thought of corresponding with a boy is just too scary! (Thank the Lord!) She really liked the idea of being pen-pals with you, Becky. Could you please, at your leisure, write to Ali, off list, to kinda break the ice? It would mean alot to both of us! Also, could you include your survey questions? That is another thing that I have been meaning to do-but it got buried under the stack of remodeling papers which are now piled in my office along with boxes of dishes, etc., which I will probably get around to unpacking in the year 2000! Jerry Finch-you blew me away with your tender, touching story about a topic that is on all of our minds but never quite know how to bring it up in conversation. All that talent...& webpages, too! BTW, speaking of talent, may I indulge a bit of hero-worship? Beverly Steward, are you indeed the author of "Parkinsonnets", my new favorite? Jeannie Averille sent me a copy & I just love to spend time reading & rereading it. It makes me feel better just knowing that I am bound by fate to such gifted people! Judith, the article about the procedure for tremors gives me such hope! If I were ever to consider going "under the knife" again... Jeannine-great webpage, Marling-I'll have to save my masking story for another time! Gina-hope that you're feeling better; that "birds on the bedposts" tale sent chills up my spine...brrr! I guess that I'd better quit dropping names & go see if my kitchen looks any different-it is under destruction! May God Bless You All for your friendship & support! Joan Snyder (47/8) "Do or do not.
