New Wallet

I had been trying to downsize my wallet for a while. Found this one at Cavender's, and it's perfect. It also takes up half the space in my purse as my old one.

 

French Knot Stash

I bought the compass rose canvas at the French Knot on top of these things. The blues are for the canvas.

 

Two Bags

Both of these bags are from Myrna Bags. I bought the top one in Texas and the bottom in Colorado.

 

Compass Rose Canvas

I saw this at The French Knot and bought it, along with silk to stitch it. Will start at some point this month.

 

Texas Flowers - Stitch Maynia #30

One of my bigger projects this year. I'm looking forward to how this will look when it's done.

Last Lunch At Esperanza

Last visit to Esperanza's before leaving Texas. I miss real Mexican food.

Last Chance At Fried Pickles

The burger was good, but it was the fried pickles that made this meal. It was at one of the places on Seventh Street in Fort Worth. Bar area. But fried pickles. I think this was the last time I've had them. I wonder if I could make them.

Sweet Mesquite

I like Sweet Mesquite's barbecue and their fried okra, so we headed there on one of our last days in Fort Worth. Turns out the one we went to had a kitchen fire a few days later. Anyway, it tasted truly wonderful.

Feast Festivities

Two photos of the entertainment at the feast. We saw a lot more when we explored outside in the grounds.

Medieval Feast

When on home leave, we like to catch the Ren Faire down in Magnolia. We went with friends who had never been before. It was great, though we were a bit disappointed in the entertainment at the feast. Previously,  there were several acts who would pop in and do short versions of their shows. Last year, only one did. 

Needlepoint Store Score

The French Knot put together some grab bags. We went for something else. Andreas gravitated to the bags and pulled out the ones he thought would interest me. We brought them home.

Ghengis Grill

This is a place we always go to on home leave, too. It's one of Andreas' favorites - pick your stuff and sauce, and they grill it for you. This is usually combined with my eye exam because they're located close to each other.

Another Ol' South Breakfast

The one place we visit most on home leave, and with good reason!

Hofbrau Dinner

Hofbrau, another one of my comfort places to eat. Who can resist fried pickles? So we ate and I was comforted but a bit sad because it was almost time  to leave.

And To La Madeleine

I also make Andreas visit La Madeleine every home leave. This is what we had this visit.
