Hi there!  I've been absent from Apsense for a while now, just been busy doing other things.  It's hard to keep up with everything, so I took a break to concentrate on my article writing.  I hope to rejoin the Apsense Community and start contributing again.

I have opened a storefront on Etsy to sell my crocheted hats.  It's brand new, and I'm still getting everything set up just so, but you're welcome to stop by and check it out.  I'm open to any comments or questions about my storefront.  Drop by http://jillbeth.etsy.com and tell me what you think!

I've also been busy babysitting for my grandson Louis, who is almost five months old.  He is such a sweet little fellow, such a cheerful disposition.  He loves to "talk."  He talks to us, the dog, the lamp, whatever....  He's in a walker already, and has figured out how to go backwards.  He is a strong little fellow and will probably be walking on his own soon!

We have an even newer grandson!  Tyler Scott Webb was born on October 27, one day before his cousin Zachary Tyler's birthday, who turned eight this year.  Tyler Scott is a member of the Webb clan who gave us Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle!  His dad, Eric, is a third or fourth cousin, or something like that.  His real claim to fame is setting a grassy hill on fire right in downtown Wabash, IN, when he was a young whippersnapper.

I welcome my new contacts, who I finally approved today.  Sorry to make you wait!  I'll try to get around to sending each of you a personal note soon!
