Hi again! Beth, I'm glad you're going to do a little something for your student...and to heck with what the school thinks. I remember when you were able to get some help for making his Christmas special a couple of years ago. I wish we could help change his situation now, but of course there's nothing that can be done, sounds like.

Diane, I still, after several years, miss my Beau so much....we did rescue one other dog after that, but were able to place her somewhere else. I would not be surprised if another animal in need found you...they always seem to find us, and for years I've thought they had a newsletter!

Hi, Bob, long time no see.

I'm heading for an auction tomorrow; don't expect to find much, but you never know. Wednesday I was in a little Church thrift shop and picked up a Corning casserole dish with lid - - had an unusual pattern. Someone else was grabbing the "usual" corning dishes and pans with the blue flowers that I don't even bother with anymore. Long story short, I listed the casserole dish (from the 60's) in a pyrex site and it sold quickly. I think they charged me $2 for it and I got $35 including the shipping, which will probably be 12-14.00. Sometimes I overpay at that thrift because they are SO cheap, and I feel guilty. I sure never thought I'd be selling mid-century drapes (a very hot commodity, if you can find barkcloth) and pyrex. Not my first choice, but we change with the times. I miss New York and the lovely art pottery and the antique shows and all that stuff. Of course I'm an old crock now and could never do it anymore. I'm not even sure I can mount a yard sale, truth to tell, and I need to do one.
