... Jiggedy Jig

Well, I finally made it home and will get around to posting more about my coming home feelings soon, but there are a few pictures up at www.justpixels.blogspot.com of the glorious homecoming. I would have posted that link there as a hyperlink but I'm typing this on a Mac and no can do. But, yay, its so great to be home and, can you believe it, Norman hasn't changed all that much. Crazyness. Everyone is still here, and basically the same, and church today was great just to see everyone and be back! With Sam back to crack the whip, the other half of the John and J-Do living at the house rent-free in exchange for doing maintenance is finally getting underway. But, no matter, it'll get done and there's no fire. The place is nice and clean, though, and the nasty brown walls have been painted over, so that's a world of improvement. I had a great time doing yard work yesterday with mom and John, though, and it looks so great! Its fun to have a little house to fix up. I'm excited about doing more, but also mindful of not wanting to get too tied up in this house and making it look nice, because that's not what life is about, is it? So, after the initial facelifts, I hope to take it a little at a time. John has given us our first housewarming gift-- a framed 8x10 of Poopis holding her bowl. Sam is ecstatic and lovingly gazing at it as I type.

Other than that, I'm excited about getting back to my extended knitting stash. Coping with 2 sets of needles and, like, 3 skeins of yarn just wasn't cutting it. But, I'm on the ground running and currently working on some cream 'n' sugar feather & fan dishrags. Very instantly rewarding.

Like I said, more later. And hopefully some pics.
