A Head!

I have begun to see a face peeking out of all the red wool!

Going Gringo

Dos Gringos is changing locations soon due to the property being bought up to build a hotel; we went because it was close to the house and we were tired after the air show.  Not a good sign when you see a rat coming out from under the newspaper vending machine, by the way.  The margaritas were very good.  The food was pretty bland.  It was not bad, per se.  There was nothing special about it.

Slow Progress

With the training we were going through, last week I made very little progress on everything.  There were whole days where I didn't lift a needle.  The result is the flower's only half done and I still have a leaf to go.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

We went to a total of five games while we were in Texas.  We both realized how much we missed baseball.  It was a good thing.

Lefty

The left gargoyle was what I worked on this time.  His tail is coming along and the balance is almost the same as the right guy.

On To Esperanza's

Esperanza's is owned by the same family that owns Joe T. Garcia's.  It's got more selection, is smaller, and is more truly Mexican.  We at lunch there with Erin and Theresa, and it was great.  Nachos are truly cheesy.  Tostada, above, is huge and fresh.  And the tortilla soup (minus avocado, bottom) was flavorful and filling.

Introducing Erin To Ol' South

You're always hungry and tired when you take the six in the morning flight.  Luckily, when Erin did this, we knew where to take her from the airport - to Ol' South.  She had New Orleans eggs benedict; I had my usual dutch baby, and Andreas had a real breakfast.  All was good and balance was restored to the worl.d
