Over to the Hen

Done with all the colors and working on the peahen for a bit now. Means there's a lot of progress, though.

 

Far on the Right

Those stitches far on the right represent the right edge of the design. I'm inching slowly closer. Of course, there are whole pages below this too.

 

A Bit of Sash

Worked on the sash on the right some more. It's practically done, which means the skirt has to come to an end soon, too, right?

 

Starting to Leg It

Lots to go on froggie legs here, but the abdomen's all done and time to get him stretched out.

 

Another Mystery Box - and Something Else

Got another mystery box of totes. Took the blue one on home leave with us to break it in. I also got a surf Lola which I used when we got home.

 

Pointe du Hoc

As part of our Normandy beach tour, we stopped at Pointe du Hoc. This is the place the Marines scaled up the cliffs to. It's still pockmarked with artillery shell holes and bunker remains. But it's not the same as when we went about ten years ago. There are these nice plaques, for one. They weren't here before. They show the landing beaches and why this area was so important.

 

Eating at Ksiasz

We couldn't go inside the castle itself because no tickets. We were also starving. So we ate at the restaurant in the gatehouse. Food was overpriced and fancy enough to be. It was also very tasty.
