bet you thought I dropped off the face of the earth. I've been hospitalized 
for awhile but am doing better now.. What kind of craft are you into this 
time of the year? I remembered what you said about daylight coming about mid 
Feb. and I did think of you and how it must seem to finally come into the 
light.
I started an afaghan before I went into the hosp. but I haven't gotten it 
done yet. isn't that sad. I used to be able to do one in a week or so, but 
not anymore. I've only recently been able to use the computer. was a time I 
coldn't sit up long enough to do any writting. My daughter would print out my 
mail and managed to answer some of it for me. she's been watching for mail 
from you but you must be really busy or have given up on the echo. I hope 
not. It was nice coorespinding with you and I hope you receive this someday.. 
take care and write soon.      Bettie
