Today, recognizing that my wife and I have plenty of time on our hands, I volunteered our help in making paper cranes for a wedding.
I'd run into my young cousin today at lunch hour and she explained that they'd designed their table settings in part around the availability of some paper cranes offered by an acquaintance. That acquaintance later decided to instead sell the things, so they're in a pinch.
Happily, Mari comes from a land where there are a variety of words for paper cranes and the things made out of them.
