No jokes. Just business.

Well, it appears my handy dandy email subscription box doesn't work, so I've chucked it. Sorry, folks. I'll come back to the issue sometime and see if I can work it out, but this isn't the week for that.

Today is Harper's 7th birthday, so I've spent much of the week preparing for that. And we are driving to Tennessee tomorrow, so today I'll be trying to pack and see just how many vital things I can forget this time. It could be a record, since I will also be taking care of a sick 3-year-old who has yet again managed to fall ill right before a 12-hour car ride. I slept with her last night, and while she managed to eke out a night's sleep, I was kept awake by her sneezes, coughs, moans, and groans. By tomorrow morning, I should be ready to drive us all off the side of a bridge. I'll wave to you as we go down.

We'll return late on Tuesday, and I hope that shortly thereafter I'll have a Cherry Pie update, and maybe some new quilt pictures, if my sister hasn't been slacking off for the last few months. At the least, I'll try to get a picture of her fabric stash, so you can all wonder how I managed to sleep next to it without secretly stuffing the extra spaces in my suitcase.

Have a great holiday weekend, everyone. Oh, and thanks for all your stories of massive hemmoraging!
