Several weeks ago, I made a trip to mum's to see my son play soccer for his Senior Night at college (*still wonders when she became the mum of a college senior*). On the way there, I had the chance to spend a couple of hours at lady_karelia 's where she made a wonderful dinner and calypsobard joined us! Be jealous, very jealous as you view the picspam :D

( friends fun and french dinner )

.........and Aberforth *grins

( baaaaaaa )

I haz Memphis Tennessee

After a 5 hour drive that was nice, good weather and uneventful.

And a great time at lady_karelia 's tonight.  We've had the most wonderful Indian dinner courtesy of her husband who is a fabulous cook!  Pappadums, rice, vegetable curry, paneer (indian cheese) curry, chicken curry.  Add some wine.  Some wonderful friends like calypsobard  and socially_awkrd as well as blue_paris and  frineds who are totally great of lady_karelia 's family and it's been a perfect evening.

I'm learning how to make feta cheese which is not as difficult as I thought it could be.

Listening to Gotan Project playing currently and working on some crochet as we finish the evening with butterbeers.

Can't ask for a better vacation.

Tomorrow proves to be just as good

This week, with no computer at work till it was repaired, I've spent time crafting to avoid the frustration it was causing with things I couldn't get done.

So on card_challenges , though the June Challenge mentioned Dads and Grads, I have neither in my family this year. Both Joe's and my father's are no longer on this side and my son don't graduate till next year. Make the card now and I'll never ever find it next year! *grins*

So I made a card that can be used to just say 'hi' or encourage - an all occasion card - using the Gate Method

( Open me! )

In the meantime,using the miuku the cat pattern, my entry for the June Challenge over at starknuts is inspired by the greatest inspiration ever,fabulous_catt herself.
