Rebecca used to be a regular on the message board. Rebecca used to send us an article every month. Rebecca's View But then she had that second child and the articles stopped. Many of us are devoted to Rebecca. I am devoted to Rebecca. Many of us have missed Rebecca. I have missed Rebecca.
Rebecca was at the July GTG in Assisi! She sends her regards in this video! She has not forgotten us! And she is still funny!

I told her she should be publishing those essays. Have they ever even been submitted?

Oh, that was fun Pauline, and as Marian said Rebecca is cute. It looked like a great event.

I do hope she starts writing and submitting again.

Thanks for posting Pauline.

Could that be Barb (of Barb & Art)?

and Pauline is asking the questions?

Great job!

Yes, Pauline asking the questions. Barb is in part of the video. Steve says it is obvious a woman was filming because I did not move the camera down when Rebecca turn around and smacked her butt. Smile

I have a long, rambling video of the whole GTG which I will post this week.

Sorry, yes it was me...I was trying to be funny, but of course I just ended up interrupting the interview. Pauline and Rebecca, please accept my apologies.

OTOH, I'm sure there are some people on this board who thought Rebebecca was one of those urban legends...at least now we have proof she really does exist...altho we ARE still waiting for her reappearance on the board and/or some new articles..... Roll Eyes

Barb, I thought your interuptions were funny! It was hardly an interview - I spent about 30 minutes walking around sticking my video camera into everyones face while babbling to them. I happened to catch Rebecca at a good moment.

I also have a nice bit with Letizia and Judith - I will separate that out too.

All this would be much better if I took more care when using the camera instead of dashing about with it!!

I just cross my fingers that we will get wi-fi high speed connection soon (we have dial up Snail ). I have tried a few times to see the video or hear the podcast with Diana's but all I get is a little wheel....!!!

Well, it took me roughly a day and a half, but I did manage to view my 1.11 minutes of fame. Ah, the lengths we go to for vanity.

It was a very fun GTG, as you can see by all the cutting up that Pauline has now recorded for posterity. I am very, very glad that the butt smacking was out of frame. I have a reputation to protect.

Thanks to you all for the kind posts (gosh, I'm cute now?!? It must be the baby fat.) and I do hope to be able to be around more often and dash off an article now and then in the near future.

Until then I send my best to all the ST crowd.
