Home Day!

Tea and a scone, apple cinnamon (made by Husband at Home, while I lazed about in bed).

And finally, check out this post from PinkCrowStirrings. My girl Carrie in Chicago rocked the Obama acceptance speech last Tuesday, yup she heard it in person. And I love her photo of the swarming celebrants.
