Gone Intercoastal

 Mom and I took an intercoastal waterway cruise while in Fort Lauderdale.  It rained part of the time, but there were a lot of too expensive homes to look at, and it was much easier than walking.

Time For Horses

I don't think the horses liked the heat much, but they behaved very well.  Some even did dressage.

Breakfast In The Sun

Since dinner the night before was so good at the hotel next door, we decided on breakfast there, too.  I got bacon!  I think every time I ate breakfast out, I ordered bacon.  The omelette was good, too, and Mom enjoyed her french toast.

Those From Italy

 These in the black and red are from Italy.  It's an organization similar to our Knights of Columbus.  No idea why they ended up in Moldova for this, but they did raise a lot of money for the Don Bosco center while they were there.

Squaring Off

Making the first star square now, as it goes on.  Happy the star itself is done, but it's harder to count when the designer deliberately has you stitch one thread off sometimes.

Getting Denser

One length of thread on each side yields some more stitching toward the center.  It's looking more full.

Lonely Beach

Photos of Fort Lauderdale beach at night.  In the distance, you can see the container ships waiting to go to port.
