Hi!

I haven't posted on rec.food.cooking or rec.food.recipes for the
longest time. Left due to the obnoxious spam I was receiving but
discovered I can access groups once again using my Yahoo e-mail addy.

I'm still living in the high desert of California where I reside with
hubby (married almost 24 years), our two kids (one in college the
other in high school) and our three cats. Awhile back our dog, Nikki,
left for the Rainbow Bridge and I recently lost our cat, Smokey. She
disappeared about a month ago and is dearly missed. I still have three
cats though.

Since I last posted, I went back to my old reporting job but left when
our new editor arrived. It was time to move on.

I'm still at Yahoo where I own several food groups but missed all you
guys at Usenet.

Well, I'm glad to see some of the old faces and hope to make new
friends,

Mary
