M-E is folding a thousand cranes

M-E has decided she need to fold a Thousand Cranes. Origami Cranes. Over the years she has learned how to fold them, we all have. We had forgotten how to fold them and had been searching for someone to re introduce us to the method.

On the trip to Portland on of the boys knew how. I found paper in Portland and the process began. She wants to do it herself and has developed a very expensive habit. She likes only the "good" paper. Evidently slick paper does not "feel" right. So I will be trekking to China town to restock. She has done about 150 and they are beautiful. She was going to ask Mr. Boyle if he would let her hang them at the school.

If you fold a thousand cranes your wish comes true. She needs a bit of that right now. She is very much on the edge. Her nerves are frayed and she is very fragile. She looks great, she is going to school most days, she smiles and laughs but it is a very thin thin front. She can not stand change and is so worried all the time. She pulls back into herself and just sits there. I think we need to worry more about her mental state than we have.

She will get her wish. I wonder where I could hang my 1000 cranes.
