Give and Receive

This morning, I sent Michael to the post office with the first, second and third place prizes to mail as well as all the dish rags fro the team captains! My dining room table is clear again (except for the decorative bowl of sock yarn).

Finally.

While he was there, he was kind enough to pick up box 21! It arrived while we were out of town and was taken to the post office for safe keeping. I was surprised and delighted to find that it belonged to one of the teams that suffered Dish Rag Tag Hardship: the Ragtag Racers!

Ah, the harsh light of an October afternoon.

Lucy sent CANDY! I am eating it right now. The Hershey’s Kisses have stuff in the middle (cheesecake, according to their flags)! What they can’t do these days. The two cherry swirl yarns are making me contemplate projects larger than a dishrag…suggestions anyone? Captain Alaina will love with the pretty dishrag, it is just the colors to soften a fall day. Thank you so much Lucy, and congratulations Ragtag Racers on overcoming your racing hardships!

In other news, I’ve extended the Think Outside the Sink Photo Contest deadline by a week (It will close October 29). This is partially because I forgot to send an email to all the Dish Rag Taggers about it, partially because I would love some more entries so that the voting systems can get a good workout and partially because I need to pick which voting systems I want to try so I may as well leave it open to more entrants. I sort of forgot we were going out of town and that has set me back a bit.

OHOH! The mailman just came (and asked again what happened to our nice, big mailbox) and brought another finisher! Who do you think it could be? Stay tuned.
