Omaha
Bacon's Great & I returned from Omaha last night. The trip was so fun, and I am somehow tired after this short vacation, as often happens when you travel.
The drive there was somewhat dark and weather-filled. We ran into gust-fronts and a bit of snow (a teeny bit), but Beck, U2 and Jeff Buckley helped the ride go smoothly.
Omaha is fully in winter. It was cold! We had a great time staying at Daphne's beautiful apartmennt & hanging at Jara's across the hall. These two make me laugh so much. The weekend was full of drinking things like tea, wine & coffee, eating things like Daphne's amazing split pea soup, croissonts! and green olives, talking, laughing, book perusing, hearing stories, smoking apple hookah, catching up with old friends & making some new ones.
The WMF Beggars Society meeting was inspirational; Shane Claiborne is a great, grace-filled and truly original person following after God's heart.
Jara gave me a Sri Lankan 2 rupee coin like this for my birthday and it made me happy and sad.
We listened to M.Ward, Josh Garrels & The Myriad on the way home, which were also quite nice soundtracks. I've been 28 for two and a half days and it feels pretty good.
Tonight, it's literally back to the grind for me.

Welcome back! Glad you had a lovely time. - Tanya
hey, ange. sounds like you had a beautiful trip. . . we should lift a glass together soon in celebration of another year of life for both of us.
Angela! I was reading the blog of a friend (Daphne) of a friend of mine (Renae, theonegrand.com) and came across your name... So fun to read about your life and see what you've been up to since Covenant days. I'm kind of weirded out by how many connections exist between Omaha/Lincoln, St. Louis and Chattanooga, but it sure is lovely to re-discover old friends.
I'd love to hear more about your world. I'll try to email you sometime soon.
