Your Teacher Is A Rock Star

Not only did I get you a beautiful, new, close-up lens for free, I convinced Samy's camera to fix our broken lens in exchange for a half-page ad. They are supposed to send us the ad by Monday. I picked up the lens yesterday afternoon.

We also need someone to write a paragraph thanking the people involved in getting us the new lens. I will get the guy's name from my husband and we can put something on the editorial page.

Another Easter Miracle*

Samy's Camera called yesterday and said the cost of fixing the broken lens is $87.50 including shipping. I told them to go ahead and asked if they would be willing to accept an advertisement in lieu of payment. I spoke to the manager of the repair department and he was very interested. He said the repair order would go out on Monday, and with any luck, it may be ready by Friday. He said he has Monday off, but that he will call me Tuesday to discuss the ad and suggested he may want to advertise in the future.
