October 1st, 2007 at 4:54 pm Hi David and Ron, Just wanted to say thanks again for a great week of beading at the TAFTA Forum in Geelong, Australia. My brain is buzzing with all the beading ideas which your teaching has given me. Not sure when I will ever get the time to put them all into action, but will certainly try. Hope you are having a great time in New Zealand.
October 1st, 2007 at 6:22 pm oh how fun to be along for the ride. been thinking of you already all week. enjoy yourselves silly. much love don
October 1st, 2007 at 10:15 pm Thinking of you guys! Love the blog so far. Isn’t it great how prophetic fortune cookies are? Bob Barker’s my man. I grew up watching the price is right. No one ever told me that it really doesn’t prepare you for life. Been a little inconsolable ever since. Can’t wait to see the next update. You guys are my heroes!
October 1st, 2007 at 11:15 pm OK! Now I’m really put out. I don’t have a nickname like “Dame of Details” or “Genius Girl Monday” let alone the know-how to have a blog–I don’t think I know for sure what a blog even is! I thought it was something pirates drink while sailing the briny sea… Anyway, here I am, stuck in rainy Seattle, no nickname to call my own, no technological know-how and yet I am the one locked out of Bill Pay, bereft of the power of attorney and searching desperately for the lost IRS check!! Where is the glamour and recognition I so rightly deserve??? HUH? WHERE!!!! Love you but you’re making my hair turn gray. How many days ’til you come home, that’s what I wanna know!! Mommy, are we there yet? I have to pee!!! Kisses, Maureen
October 18th, 2007 at 3:51 pm hey Boys, Gawd do I miss you! Wow, what a great blog,looks like you are having a super time…Casting ain’t the same with out you. I have been up to my eyeballs with highschool hormones. Pratt gave me a nice little award, Instructor of the year, for hot glass, complete with a show at the new gallery space, in the Tashiro kaplan building in Pioneer square, I was given a lovely trophy from goodwill, all tricked out. and tomorrow their is a luncheon for us..oh queen for a day. but more than that yes do miss you, and will be in the southern hemisphere in december casting glass in Canberra! drop me a line if you can. your co hart in casting crime. cc
October 19th, 2007 at 9:13 am Dashing Dorfee misses you both terribly. It’s Friday here…pouring rain & VERY windy! No baby lambs though. The suspension bridge would have done me in…there would have been years of photos of “Dashing Dorfee that made it 1/2 way (almost)”.
October 28th, 2007 at 10:00 pm Dear Ron and David, I am so vastly relieved that my house did not burn down. I am up in Berkeley with my kids but knew I had to be ready that I would lose everything. It didn’t happen so I feel wonderful but awful for the people who lost so much, 1,500 homes gone. I love your blog. What a fabulous trip. Delightful to read about. My goodness, you had to plan like crazy for this trip. When do you hear from Penland, Dec. is it??? Love and kisses, Lana
November 2nd, 2007 at 6:51 pm I just want to know if Andrea from Canada is going to work with kids and elephants at the same time. It brings amusing images in my brain. I love all those merigold necklace offerings. Simone says hi.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:14 am Thinking of you, David and Ron, on this Thanksgiving you will surely never forget. I am sending so much love, friends. Melanie
