he's home, he's home!

We are all so happy to report that Tall House, Double Cup is home from his Taiwan trip. He brought E a rocket and robot. He brought Em the sweetest Chinese silk dress and pink jammies. He meant to bring me a big bottle of good vodka (does he know me, or what)? But had duty-free shop issues.
We are looking forward to a weekend of happy snuggling. THDC's dying for beef stew over polenta - have you ever had it? It's amazing? So we'll be cooking, reading, and maybe hitting up the pumpkin patch.

A bit of eye candy - I just got these gorgeous pottery balls at the sweet little garden shop down the street. They matched up with one of my bowls perfectly. They make me so happy.
