Dear Joy, and all who have asked about Beth -- Beth left here on Wednesday Oct 6, headed for Tucson, by Greyhound bus. Her plans beyond that were indefinite, however, she promised to keep in touch by e-mail. We had a wonderful time while she was here, though of course, I was working a great deal of the time. She cooked us some fantastic meals -- her stir-fry is to die for, and I've bought two pumpkins so I can try making her pumpkin soup. I think she should strongly consider opening a restaurant!!
