EMERGENCY DRILL DAY

With the class scheduled to start at 9am, I set the alarm for 7:30am, which should give us enough time to get breakfasted and in the craft room by about 8:30am. Imagine our surprise and confusion, then, when we arrived in the Bistro, only to find that they hadn’t started serving breakfast yet. We hung about a bit, waiting for...
