I realize the need is great, but helping 50 or more people is better than sitting around and helping none. I am so happy you are safe!Quiltingrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885973879588867172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-29993992522223860992011-03-15T09:56:39.684-07:002011-03-15T09:56:39.684-07:00I'm kind of just surfacing after my rotator cu...I'm kind of just surfacing after my rotator cuff surgery and glad to hear you are ok after the earthquake.

He was assigned to working out the engineering plans for a rape seed plant they were building in Lloydminster, Alberta. He had to travel to Japan several times to learn about rape seed oil production from them. I have a housecoat that my mother bought there on one trip when she went with him. Sorry about your cat. He looks precious.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104565945520530658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-20545174738114687832011-03-13T20:37:28.761-07:002011-03-13T20:37:28.761-07:00I was happy to read of the relevance of these litt...I was happy to read of the relevance of these little icons. I am not surprised people give so many of them to you. They want to give you good luck. That is a nice sentiment.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965043838288712362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-20510815059105823922011-03-13T19:45:36.215-07:002011-03-13T19:45:36.215-07:00Those small things hold a great deal of meaning bu...Those small things hold a great deal of meaning but I think you don't realize it until they're no longer there. I still have a broken snow globe that depicts the NYC skyline (with the twin towers) I purchased on the last trip home just months before 9/11. Though it's broken and probably beyond repair I can't bring myself to throw it away. It represents too much to me.McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470791593576032851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-38590081801194071132011-03-13T12:48:11.853-07:002011-03-13T12:48:11.853-07:00I'm so sorry your poor cat is broken but you a...I'm so sorry your poor cat is broken but you are right that there are broken people out there. That doesn't mean you can't mourn this small thing just as you mourn the losses others have suffered. Sometimes it's the small things we focus on when the big things are so enormous that we are overwhelmed by them. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-27961563314528764172011-03-13T06:03:32.482-07:002011-03-13T06:03:32.482-07:00Cute cats you have there.
