Time to head downtown. If anyone remembers a couple weeks ago I was having issues with getting a bid into Saskatchewan in time - well, I got the job (yay), and so now I have to go get some paperwork done and send it off to them to confirm the contract. So it looks like a trip to Saskatchewan in the summer. This is probably after the trip to Ottawa with my daughter's choir for July 1st. Hope my husband doesn't decide to move while I'm out of town.
Cameo: we live in a nice neighbourhood but have had three grow-ops in our neighbourhood (one right across the street from us) shut down in the last 6 months. My husband says I'm the only one in the neighbourhood with an 'evident source of income', and everyone else drives nicer cars than me!

Be sure to let us know if you're coming to Saskatchewan - If I remember correctly you said Moose Jaw, but I'm always up for a trip over there!
My sons keep telling me that I pay too much rent - I think so too, but I feel safe here. I cringe when I think of moving to some of the less secure buildings that are available.
I'm a bit excited today. I do a lot of beadwork and developed a unique technique that I call *tada* "Canadian Twist". My design was published in January in a Canadian on-line e-zine and was met with hohum response. Then earlier this week, someone on one of the Yahoo groups I belong to posted a picture of a bracelet she made. From the picture, it looks like she used my pattern, but in her notes, she attributed the design to a print magazine.
OhBoy! I didn't have a copy of the magazine, so I quickly found someone who could scan the article and send it to me, meanwhile I wrote to the customer relations contact at the magazine, thinking I would be proactive in case of a copyright conflict.
Turns out there is no conflict, my design is completely different, but the editor of the magazine wrote back to me and asked me to consider submitting my design for publication in their magazine
Jeanne, not to make light of your current situation, but you could use a dachshund as a guard dog. We have just sold the two of the last four doxie pups (we hope) and we are keeping the last two show quality pups (Rosie and Casey). Still, if we have another litter, I shall keep you in mind. Until then, maybe I should send out "The Fearsome Foursome" to "stand on guard for thee".
Say "hey" to Gracie for me.

Beej, "The Fearsome Foursome" were all born in Chicago. The pups were born here in St.John's.

Take care, Margaret
The bid package had to go to Moose Jaw, but the job is actually in Fort Qu'Appelle (for those who don't know: a little town slightly north and east of Regina, not to be confused with Qu'Appelle, which is directly east.)
