Dear Pennie and Dave,
Sorry no mail from me sooner, I've been flitting around the countryside quite a bit and in between have done some temporary work and had my brother & family down (two gorgeous children so of course we frequented the beach, zoo etc) and have been making a bridesmaid dress for a cousin's wedding next week. School starts tomorrow so I must start being conscientious. Hope to catch up with mail soon. Done any trips lately? How are you braving the cold Pennie? Pam is engaged, nice chap from England. Barb.
