little things

are nice to come back to, like stores that stay open between noon and two p.m., and lots of trees and green spaces in the city, and efficient public transportation, and only one or two hours of time-zone difference between my best friends and me (instead of eight or nine).

and reconnecting with friends here.

and to jump right in (I did the Craftstravaganza last Saturday, and I'm reading at the 7th Street Entry on the 11th!).
and I hear that a certain printmaker is updating his shop today (oh! and there's free shipping 'til Friday!) with new cards (and he's got a show coming up, too, if you're in the Twin Cities).
and now back to the sewing machine with me.
