for me!! This leads me to a few questions (because we do and say things differently) - when do you have "spring break"? What is a Summer Camp? Why do the children go to Summer Camp? Our schools start in January and finish for the Christmas Holiday in December. Do the American schools only start a new school later in the year? How long are your school holidays? What is Hannukah? Also some of the abbreviations I read in the posts are not familiar to me - some I have worked out, others not. I assume DIL is "daughter-in-law? What is ggs? Great god son? Great grand son? What is DH? Sorry if they seem like silly questions, and I know they are not sewing related. Oh - and another question - I read in one of the posts left in "Designs by Cuties" that someone had located a design by using the "catalog". Where do I find this catalogue of designs/projects? God Bless you all.

My husband and I would always travel to Australia and New Zealand twice a year. We lived in Hong Kong at the time and when it was cold there we went to your wonderful country to escape the cold and when it was too hot we returned to Australia to escape the heat. I love your country and miss going there.
1. our Spring Break is usually April around Easter.
2. Our schools start in August and go almost through June
3.Some holidays are one day and some the school is out for two weeks. Depends on the school district
4. Hannukah is a Jewish holiday and would better be explained by a person who follows that religion
5. Summer camp is for children to go to either because both parents work when the children are off from school or in our case we sent our kids for a couple of weeks to learn how to camp, ride horses and just do things that we normally don't do in the cities. Oh some school districts are off for the entire summer and some schools are year around and only have a couple of weeks off in the summer, spring, fall and winter. Our schools don't always have the same rules. Hope this explains a little.
