Going To The Doilies

Andreas' boss' wife was getting rid of some crochet books.  I need new crochet books like a hole in the head, but I picked out these four.  Now to find time to make them.

Mall Food Albanian Style

The mall is about a mile and a half from our house.  It has a lot of stores and would not be out of place in western Europe.  It even has an Inglot.  When we were here last, all the mall was was a dumpy grocery store out past the edge of town.  Times have changed in Pristina!

On our first weekend here, we decided to go to the food court.  This is what we had - Albanian fast food.  The food was good and cheap and plentiful.  There was a bit of Turkish mixed in.  The boats were kind of like hachupuri, but not.  No egg, and meat in them.  The bread was also not as fluffy.  Tasted good, though!

Nolive Alone

Another piece I worked on in Vienna.  It's looking pretty special.

Meeping Along

I worked on Meepers a bit while I was in Vienna.  Had  to do something while my feel recovered from all that walking around!

On To Another

When I saw it, I fell in love with the A-Mazing Caleidoscope by Martina Weber.  Because of that, I decided it would be my 2018 New Year's start.  I've got everything now - fabric, kit, and pattern - so it will be started on January 1.

Last Meal In US

We ate breakfast at Ol' South before heading to the airport to drop off the car and go to Kosovo.  Mom was with us, and, of course, we had to have some favorites.  Andreas got a Belgian waffle and I had a Dutch baby and an omelette.  It was a good way to finish off  the trip.






Primed For Perry's

 While we were in Houston, we decided we needed a very nice meal before going off to Kosovo.  So we went to Perry's Steakhouse in Champions Forest.  It was wonderful.  We had full meals and every bit was excellent.  I would go back in a heartbeat.
