Hi Ruth

I couldn't open this web page at first but then linked again thru Triplux and it was OK! Thanks for checking on my list! It's quite a lot of fun isn't it, doing a list and then trying to keep it up. I hope I can encourage you to keep going, and maybe you wouldn't mind doing the same for me. I've started the reading of the New Testament and praying for my children (I have 4 children and 3 granddaughters. Oh, and weeding the garden! What part of Canada are you in? I live about 70kms north of Wellington, NZ'd capital
