All Across

Yay, I am all the way across on my Peace Wheel!  Now I get to add a second color.

Ol' South Breakfast

Being in Fort Worth, I had to eat at Ol' South as often as possible. This time it was with Lindsay Repshas, an old friend met in Moldova.  It was great for both of us and I introduced her to Dutch babies!


Star Wars Day At The Ballpark

Andreas wanted a Texas Rangers Star Wars mashup bobble head doll.  Since he was not yet on home leave, I had to "suffer" through a Rangers game to get him one.  It was a true hardship, as Andreas picked out the ticket for me and got this awesome seat behind home plate.  Members of the 501st Legion were on the field before the game in full regalia.  It was cute to see Boba Fett annoy the head groundskeeper.  The game was great, too, and I had a good time.

Joyful World Done

I started it a year late, but finished it a month ahead of my schedule.  The piece was made challenging by the 40 count cloth.  Stitched over two in DMC threads.  It's already got a new home!

Mattie Eats Ice Cream

One of the things Mattie liked to do on home leave was walk, of an evening, to Curly's Custard, and indulge in ice cream.  

Lucky 13 Hair Salon

I had my hair done twice by Bree at this place in Fort Worth while on home leave.  Isn't the decor spiffy?  The hair turned out awesome, too!

Hearts Flowers And Diamonds

The left side border is all outlined now, and I am almost done with the hearts and lines .  Getting close to being able to move to the second of three parts.
