Sorry, to hear you had to wait outside so long, Krista. We were fortunate
to be back in and having lunch by 11:45. My favorite story here is about
our afternoon music teacher. She was on her way to school and nearing our
parking lot when the shaking started and her car began to bounce around.
She thought, "This darn Honda, we just got it back from the shop!"
I don't know about your schools, but our kids were terrific! Practice sure
does pay off. (And we didn't have to tell anyone twice about getting under
their desks:)) Everything went exactly as we hoped it would during this kind
of emergency. Sure hope "the BIG one" doesn't hit in our lifetime;).

Maybe not as funny, but how about the kids that asked if it was a drill?
