Feeling Good


I feel so good about my progress on this project!  The second corner is almost done and the backstitching in the lower left progresses nicely. I also just like the look of this.  It makes me smile.

Big Dinner At Pegas

Toward the end of May we had a big group with us at Pegas.  We took some photos of other peoples' food, too so there's a -lot- to see.  I had mushroom soup, which was silky and creamy and just the right temperature.  Someone else had tomato, which is so very rare here in eastern Europe!  For some reason, milk and tomatoes should never meet.

Andreas had his usual Greek salad and rabbit alfredo.  They were as good as usual, too.  I don't think he'll ever order anything else from this restaurant.
I had a steak and some grilled mushrooms.  The steak was done properly, but the mushrooms were a little dry.  I do like their food and the quality of beef has only gone up.
Someone else ordered shashlik and it came out on a huge skewer.  Interesting presentation, and it was evidently very good tasting.

I had the usual cappucino for dessert.  They present it so well here.

Mercury In Krakow

I don't know the history of Mercury in Krakow, but he sits just inside the barbican waiting to entertain people.  There's also a neat three dimensional map of the Old City just outside the barbican, too.  It's pretty accurate and gives a good idea of where everything's located.

Half

Just slowly working my way across.  I love how these colors are coming together.

Topped

The top border is done and it's almost time to work on the lettering. 

Another Baby Aghan

This afghan was made for the assistant at our employees' association.  I liked how it turned out except for the extreme shrinkage of the yarn with washing.

Some Old Town Details

 We took this set of photos while doing the free walking tour... that we managed to lose and never find again.
