i did go buy kona. much nicer. I like challenging myself to learn a few new blocks but fear I may be bald from tearing my hair out when this is through. lol oh and my daughter mailed the blocks home (helping me, smile). she just put 2 forever stamps on em and put em out for pickup. grr I nicely explained that while I appreciate the help it may not have been enough postage. so. . . let me know if I owe ya ladies! I will pay up!
