The school I work at is once again in the news in a bad way. Last spring, we had a suicide at school. This is just as awful, as tragic in a different way. It's just starting to leak into the news and I am hopeful that with spring break next week, some of the "buzz" will settle down. Some of us who have known for a few days were talking earlier and agree that next year when spring comes, we are going to be waiting for a shoe to fall. What terrible thing will come, what will the news trucks be trying to catch an interview for?

Anyhow, with all of this going on, I've totally lost track of time and didn't get Kendra's package in the mail to her. Good thing the taxes were done and sent, or I'd probably have forgotten about them, too. Mamabird's center hasn't been forgotten, but it isn't quite ready to go, either. I saw a picture of an antique quilt and wanted to reproduce one of the borders on it, but using piecing instead of the applique that the original had. I'm trying to remember how long the packages to Canada have been taking; I know it's longer than the usual two days that they take here, but not too much? So you should still get this late next week, I hope.
No worries from this end! I have to put the finishing touches on the one I have here and send it out too! I am hoping to have mine out on Monday!
Usually the mail from the states to Canada has been taking about 10-12 days. Why I don't know but that is the wayis goes!
