I found the quilt symposium very tiring, with my ankle (the one that got broken) giving me trouble (and still is). I've decided that I want to spend more time teaching my craft and making art, so I'm working on a bunch of ideas to make that happen.

A moments tiredness can have effects!<br /><br />>> If there is any way in which I can help with the Clutha effort please let me know. I am working through a post on the Ruahine rivers now, and will include mention of it in there Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514655834785883306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-43192632466915637372009-05-01T08:07:00.000+12:002009-05-01T08:07:00.000+12:00Kia ora Donald,

I had written that ANZAC day here in Palmy has been a real pleasure to witness the growth of the dawn parade over the last ten years or so. When I stand there and watch those old soldiers I can't help but think of my own father, though he served in the US Army. The sacrifices these guys who returned made Ruahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-13137789123698191732009-04-30T22:28:00.000+12:002009-04-30T22:28:00.000+12:00No worries.

It's been a bit busy, and in fact I'm just catching up on reading right now.

Stewart Island to me is such a special place, and I hope it keeps improving.

Though my dad served in the US forces, mainly in New Guinea, the day certainly makes me think of him and what those 5 years away from home did to him, and so many others, not to mention the ones who never returned.<br /> Looks like a very Ruahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.com
