This crane was dropped at Michelangelo's - Clovis, CA awhile ago.  For the first time I got out of order with my cranes . . . then let time pass without getting caught up.  It may take me awhile, but I will put 1000 paper cranes out there.

I was walking around last night at our local Farmer's Market carrying a paper crane . . . looking for a place to set it.  I looked up and there was one of my wonderful young ladies from school - who folds paper cranes and comes to visit me nearly every day.  So instead of just dropping crane #604 . . . I gave it to this sweet young lady.  It made me whole night special.

Dedicated to Diane Kelley . . .

First of all I apologize for the delay in this dedication.  I hate to just drop cranes that I dedicate to people just anywhere . . . and it has taken me awhile to get somewhere appropriate.  Life just seemed to get in the way of my plans.  

One of these cranes is dedicated to Diane Kelley who died of breast cancer at the age of 37.

The other crane is dedicated to her daughter Helen . . . who found one of my cranes and recently had surgery herself . . .

Room 12 still folding cranes . . .

Crane folding has caught on with the kids in Room 12.  I spent my lunch break  helping some of them fold paper cranes.  One little girl was so excited to show me the small crane she had folded . . .then told me that they are numbering them and putting words on them.  

That made my day!
