Sorry, but I have a couple housekeeping items to clear up before I can send out the mailing information for the December Hourglass Blocks. First, Jude, please send me your mailing address (city, state only) and your email addy so I can complete my records. My email is: catkiz(at)Xmission(dot)com. Don’t forget that ‘X’ before “mission” – Xmission is shorthand for transmission. 🙂 I come up with a different block total than Nann did, and I’ve been over the posts twice and my addition three times. Here is a quick list. No need to let me...

I’ve been receiving emails which have told me (repeatedly!) that *I* need to say something about the future of the Block Lotto. Honestly, I thought I already did say something last summer when I said that I would not be doing this anymore and it was time for me to do something different. I appreciate that there are those that would like to keep going–but as Cathy and Nann have let me (but maybe not you?) know–they will not be continuing to produce and manage the monthly activity … and have let me know that *I* need to say something...
