Lunch At The Armenian Place

 I've forgotten the name of this restaurant for the moment.  It's a couple of blocks from the embassy and serves a mix of Moldovan and Armenian food.  Theresa had a salad; Andreas had his usual Greek salad, and I had zeama, the local chicken noodle soup.  Nothing really special about any of it, except it was a good excuse to get outdoors and enjoy the day.


Bits Of Buildings

On a piece with this much stitched, it's hard to see progress each time, but I promise you, it's there.  I worked on the leftmost bottom building and the roof of the bottom center hall.  It's plugging along.

Not Much Room

 I worked on Kathy's butterflies and dragonflies block last week.  The block still has one more person to go after me, and was already nearly full.  I found some places to work, though.  There are now a yellow bug in the lower left corner, a row of daisies in the pink, a caterpillar, and a row of ribbon flowers on some seams.  I hope she likes it.

A Windmill

 On our way back from Lalova and Tipova in April, we saw a windmill.  I made Andreas stop for a picture, but he refused to get out of the car to take it with a good camera, so I had to make do with my phone.  It's there, off in the distance, in all three pictures.  The bottom two have light problems, but I think the effect is artistic and spooly, so I put them up, too.


One Rose Done

I have one rose of the two done on the stitchalong, pretty much.  Time to finish this piece up.

Going Greek

 Mykonos is yet another restaurant in MallDova.  Unlike most American malls, there are several sit down/service restaurants in the mall.  This one's Greek and on the top floor.  First course was tzaziki and pita bread.  The tzaziki had a nice taste to it, full of yogurt and spices, while the pita was hot and garlic dusted.  Andreas had his usual Greek salad and a gyro.  They don't fill the gyros here as much as they do in the States, so it doesn't have much meat in it.  The sphanokopia? is mine.  It was a phyllo dough filled with cheese, and pretty good.





Ready To Do Wall

All that's left on the bottom left of part five is the wall bit.  That's great progress, especially as I am almost done with part six on the same quarter.  One and a half quarters left to go.
