That was my younger sister Jean who called me 'Allie' a couple of messages ago.

She's the only one in the world that gets away with calling me that.
Jean's written a couple of good poems herself, and I'd be very pleased if she'd post them on here before she takes herself away from the computer in a couple of days.
I'm really glad to have you drop in, Jeannie!

Good to see you!!!
This is only a tiny part of what I do on the computer, but I don't have a new space to load a site I've been building - something like this one:
http://www.angelfire.com/realm2/alice_c_bateman/index.html
Click on the 'Enter Please and Share the Joy' image, and it will take you to an index page. I've got a bunch more pages like this with my own work built, but need a large space and need to get my little FTP engine working to get pages loaded into it.... All things in their time....
Are you just about ready to go, my dear?

I'm really happy for you, this feels like a good thing to do - but do try and find a computer right away so we can keep in touch!!!
Love and BIG HUGS,
Alice
