OK, the test worked, so here goes. Esther suggested I have a "theme". Hence the title "Beth, etc." That will cover just about anything I want to write about. Where did it come from? About 30 years ago, I had a ceramic shop of my own, and out of the clear blue sky, I picked the hame of Beth, etc. Actually I felt it was one way of includig the rest of my family, which is where the etc. came from. I thought it would be good here, because the blog is from Beth and can include just about anuthing I want to talk about, so that's where the etc. comes in.

I plan to talk about some of the things that happened in my childhood - things going on about my church, and just life in general. One thing I probably will not have is pictures. I know they are a major part of most blogs, but as far as I know, I have no way of adding pix to my blog. So, you are just going to have to read about my life, and not rely on pix. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. So I invite you as you read it, to respod, ask questions, or make comments. If you have siomething you don't understand or rant to know more about, just ask.

That's it for now - just a sort of an introduction.
