I'm home!
Well, first, we had to hire a structural engineer to check out the house, but luckily he did not find any damage and the bank finally cut a check, so the title company wrote me a check. Well, that lasted less than a day, and I had to refund $700 because of a clerical error.
On the way to and from Atlanta, I stopped by Knit Nouveau in Helena (just outside of Birmingham). I bought a lot of clearance yarn, some needles and a set of Denise Interchangeables. My sisters and I also *shopped* in my mother's yarn closet! I came back with a whole lot of yarn. I also taught my sister and sister-in-law how to cast-on and how to purl...and taught my other sister how to use DPNs and got her started on a French Market Bag from Knitty. So it was a very fiber oriented weekend.
It was very nice to see my whole family, even if the reason was so sad.

Thank goodness for that Rissa, glad that chapter in your life is now closed.

Glad you are back safely and that the house is sold, officially! :)
Ohhh, yarn shopping in someone else's stash is SO much fun! :)
I thought you were having a family reunion? It was for a sad reason? Is everything all right Rissa?
It was a family reunion. My brother-in-law has an agressive malignant brain tumor and this was pretty much our last chance for all of us to see him. It is very, very sad. I have known Jimmy almost all of my life, he and my sister are older than me (47 & 49) and were married by time I was in highschool. It was very hard to see him this way...he was always such a vital outgoing person. :-(
