Gratitude since my return:

Day 22: The job that I had to return to and the good zen so prevalent in the office

Day 23: Internet to keep me in touch with so many dear hearts that aren't as close as I wish we could be in miles.

Day 24: The gathering of ladies with a heart for the new prayer shawl ministry forming at work.

Day 25: Yarn and crochet hooks

Day 26: Finding bargains for things we actually needed!

Day 27: A wonderful day out with Sir Dragon Preacher in McAlester that included an early morning breakfast, a meeting, chinese buffet and my first ever 3D movie, Fright Night!

Memphis Layover

Several weeks ago, I made a trip to mum's to see my son play soccer for his Senior Night at college (*still wonders when she became the mum of a college senior*). On the way there, I had the chance to spend a couple of hours at 's where she made a wonderful dinner and joined us! Be jealous, very jealous as you view the picspam :D

Memphis Magical Madness Day 2

You know it was a successfully while night when someone needs to make a doctor's appointment afterwards to recover!

Today was rather quieter with more friends of lady_karelia  coming by for beef and greenbean curry and naans. More wine. Managed to hem lady_karelia 's cloak which calypsobard pinned up for us yesterday. Crochet, and continuing on with the cheese making.

Tomorrow is Beale St
