Sweet Mesquite

I like Sweet Mesquite's barbecue and their fried okra, so we headed there on one of our last days in Fort Worth. Turns out the one we went to had a kitchen fire a few days later. Anyway, it tasted truly wonderful.


Albanian Lunch

Saint Naim is at the southern end of Lake Ohrid. About half a mile from it is the Albanian border. So we went to Albania for lunch. This place was in the first (resort) town, and on a canal tucked back from the main drag. The food was good, and too much. That pie thing was stuffed with cheese and parsley. it was truly filling. We finished lunch and drove back  to Ohrid.

Froggy Portrait

My first frog is getting more defined and better.

Beginners Whitework Ornament - Stitch Maynia #25

I am probably going to have to restart this piece. There's a poblem with the center. I should have left a thread between the eyelet and the surrounding bars. Other than that, it looks good.

Feast Festivities


Two photos of the entertainment at the feast. We saw a lot more when we explored outside in the grounds.

More Saint Naim

The mosaicked area is where Saint Naim was buried. The other photos show how beautiful the scenery is. The gardens are peaceful, too, despite the whole tourist atmosphere.

Summer Flower Boxes - Stitch Maynia #24

This is my start. There's not all that much more to do on it, so the design should be done quickly when it's picked back up.
