Sharon!

I'm so glad you got on line once again! I gave up dial-up back in 
November, I think it was. I now have DSL.

Not much going on with me, and Mari is sitting over here with me 
reading E-Church messages. She has a new E-Mail address now, and it's:

Mine has also changed, and it is:

So, dear sweet Sharon, write to one or both of us when you can.


LOVE IN CHRIST,
Reeva Parry.
