Unexpected Joy

My oldest sister, who also happens to be my best friend, booked a ticket to fly here tomorrow night.  She’ll be here for the whole weekend, and on Friday she’ll join me and blogless Sara for an afternoon of shopping.  Neal’s going to cook us dinner on Saturday, and I’ve got plans for an Easter breakfast before she heads back to TN.

What’s more fun than a spontaneous visit with a loved one?

If you haven’t read the entries in Scout’s Prepster Contest, hop over there now and be entertained.  I just submitted my top three favorites to her, and as soon as Pippi sends hers, we can hash out a winner.

With all due humility (I don’t want to be accused of hubris when it comes to the wedding shawl project), I’m gathering speed with each repeat.  Meg has assured me that life lines are critical, so I will be diligent about them.  I’ve got a favorite row on the pattern, too.  Does that happen to you when you knit lace?  I feel a little thrill each time I reach Row 5.  Lurv Row 5.  Wish the entire pattern were Row 5.

I’ve got to try to sleep soon.  I’m so excited about MB’s arrival in 24 hours that I’m not sure I can close my eyes!
