Hiya Tina! It's always great to hear from you! I only get on line when I'm at the public library (4-5 days a week), so no need to apologize -- I'm probably not on when you are anyway! Irv & I are well, thx; got back to NYC from DC yesterday afternoon. We're having an autumn "Nor-Easter" today (bad rain-wind combo from the NorthEast); I truly look like the wicked witch of the East. Anyway, in DC my sister, who's a wiz at making jewelry, made me a bunch of earring & necklace sets -- I feel so glamorous! (Now I have to find occasions to wear them!)
