Gemming
CyberStitchers has a challenge/stitchalong to finish the Little Gem project from Stitch! (the UK embroiderers' guild magazine). I've been remiss and only gotten this far. It's due in a few days, and it's a really quick stitch, so I might be able to finish it.

Appetizers At TGIFriday's
After having such a huge lunch at the Italian place, we decided that just a light meal was a good idea for dinner. There was a TGIFriday's near the hotel, so that's where we went. The food had spice and flavor, but nothing stood out as spectacular. That could have been because we weren't really hungry.

Part Four Sprung
Part five came in the email yesterday, so it's time to start working on this again. I've had a week off, since I completed part four early.

Leaves And Lines
This piece is small enough that there's still visible progress each time I work on it, despite the huge chunk of time it's taking overall. I did manage to get some yellow vines and some leaves done this time, along with a bit of the last flower.
Birthday Lunch
Sean had some kind of stuffed chicken thing, which is evidently a favorite of his. Andreas had pasta. I had chicken marsala. It was somewhat bland, but the mushrooms were lovely! I rarely get mushrooms at home because Andreas doesn't like them. It's one reason why I eat so many mushroom containing dishes when we're out. Great food, and a wonderful place to visit, even if I can't remember the name.

Back In The USA
We flew to Boston as our first stop in the US. My son, Sean, graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and we were there to see it. Our first real food (since Wendy's and the hotel breakfast buffet don't count) in the US was at The Boynton, a restaurant very close to the WPI campus. Nachos, of course, started off the meal. Andreas had a reuben and I had a roast beef sandwich. I forget what Sean's was. We were soooo happy to be eating American food, and it tasted good. As you can see, the portions are huge, too, which benefits the (mostly male) students of WPI.
