My first day back in Lancaster is GORGEOUS. I say 'is' gorgeous rather than 'was' because it's still going on, duh!! And I there is plenty of potential for more gorgeousness later as I will be going out and celebrating Claire's 20th birthday with Lora, Marianna and others ( Read more... )

Life is once again restored to all that is good and plentiful. Just an advance warning: since I haven't updated properly in a while, this entry turned into a bit of a monster ( Read more... )
