Getting Wings

The wings are started.  The majority of this piece is done!

Eve Posters

One of Andreas' favorite online games is Eve.  He had these posters of starships framed by MolDeco.  They did their usual awesome job.


Good Evening GluKoza

GluKoza bills itself as a grill type place, but I've never seen any grilling going on there.  On the other hand, almost everything else is very good.  We had mixed drinks, lemonades, and prosecco.  Then we started the food.  No one did have a sheikh, though.

Andreas had a greek salad, some olives, and some salmon sashimi.  I tried the salmon.  It seemed slimy and bland to me, which is better than fish usually tastes in my mouth.  Kerry was with us and her sashimi had a bunch of other things in it.  She also had tiger shrimp skewers, which she said were great.

Andreas' stir fry was pretty meh, but my tempura was very good.  The big disappointment of the night was my steak.  I had ordered it medium rare and it came out well done, making it pretty much inedible.  My cappucino and Andreas' tea were excellent endings along with the creme brulee and choccolate lava cake desserts.

Winging It

 Before dinner we ran into Dawn and Colm at Buffalo 99.  We ended up sitting down and sharing food and drink.  Their appetizers were very generously portioned, especially the chicken wings.



Framed For Mom

Dawn took this one home to Mom for me last month.  MolDeco framed it and they did their usual bang up job.

This Too

I have decided to put this aside until I get to Angola.  While I've made a lot of progress, I'm still feeling like it's going very slowly and I'm not getting any joy from stitching it.  I need joy to counter stress in my life during the move.

Opera House Courtyard

 This pretty little courtyard sits right next to the Odessa opera house.  It's a nice place to sit, people watch, listen to practice, and drink a cup of cappucino.
