El Grecoing With The Lehtinens

Because of the long trip they had the previous day, we decided to take it easy on Saint and Florine's first full day in Moldova.  El Greco was only a couple of blocks from their apartment, so there we went for lunch! Pitas and pickled tomatoes and all kinds of grilled goodness were served.  Savannah, at just under a year old, decided she truly loved pickled tomatoes.  The only reason she didn't eat the whole plate is we didn't let her.

Textiles And Furniture

 This is a bit of several living areas.  There are many textiles and a few intriguing bits of furniture.

Bordering Up

I have all nine middle squares done now and have started the first border.  Yay!  I even have someone to give this to.

Getting Some Gauguz

In August we welcomed Andreas' new supervisor with a visit to Gok-Oguz.  It was a rainy day, but we managed to sit outside under some eaves.  As usual, the food was very fresh and very delicious, even if it did take some time.

More Clocks - And Textiles!

 Still in the Hippolit House with lots more clocks and some textiles, including handmade lace, battenburg lace, and cross stitch.

Bit More Purple

Not just browns and creams this time!  I got to add some purple to the peacock's breast.

Wine We Liked

We took a photo of this pinot noir rose (and Evie behind it) in order to remember it because it was very, very good.
