We’ve been out of town. And somebody learned a new skill.

Oh, Ellie. Slow down just a tiny bit.

I had big plans for an on location photo shoot of the latest box to complete the race – it was in the mailbox when we left and accompanied me unopened all the way to Atlanta. Unfortunately, since Ellie felt that she had to practice her Mad Standing Skills every chance she got (including when she should be sleeping), I only had time to take a single picture. I would have showed this to you several days ago if only I had packed the camera cable. We’re home now and the camera cable was right where I left it.

The twentieth box to complete the race belongs to the Expe-Dish-ous Raggers!

E is for me! (Ellie too, but she can’t write.)

Mandy completed the final leg for her team and packed a great box. Among the treats was a Starbucks gift card. I got a little teary when I saw it. I am so pathetically grateful to you, Mandy! I don’t know how you knew exactly what I needed after all my sleepless nights (different place + new skill = zero sleep for Ex2). On the way home this morning, I cashed in.

An Americano full of cream and one of those doughnuts. Sweet.

Your Team Captain, Lesley will adore the turquoise dish rag (I like that color so much), and I got just a kick out of the treats from the other Expe-Dish-ous knitters in the group! Thanks very much and congratulations to all of you for completing the race!

One more good thing: My stamp order arrived while we were gone so I know what I will (finally) be doing tomorrow! I will be so happy to get the rest of the prizes in the mail, y’all just have no idea. I hate making people wait.
