Our cub scout meeting was canceled (as were soccer practices) 9-11. After a tragedy, the kids really need normal things in their lives to give them some security. Glad you are safe. I'm praying for everyone in Japan.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-5745467397567756092011-03-31T09:50:31.101-07:002011-03-31T09:50:31.101-07:00Thank you for sharinig what is going on in Japan n...Thank you for sharinig what is going on in Japan now.

If I sing more than one verse I start to cough. :( I love the way you can lose yourself in music though. I have such great admiration for the Japanese people. Their behavior during this crisis has reflected their respect for each other and their innate goodness. There are always one or two people who stretch the limits of good behavior but they aren't to be looked on as typical. I love spring - today it's beautiful here with the flowers blooming even though it got down pretty close to freezing last night! blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-33816644362654524552011-03-25T03:04:22.316-07:002011-03-25T03:04:22.316-07:00Your batik quilt looks beautiful!

At the supermarket they had restocked loads of stuff, but still no toilet paper. The dimmed lighting keeps making me think the store is about to close and I'd better hurry. Glad you get to sing on Sunday.Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127821043084176954noreply@blogger.com
