Still On The Edges

I almost have the top border piece done.  It's a slow slog, but it's looking nice.

Risk Legacy Changes

We have more stuff on our Risk Legacy board.  It's been fun playing so far, discovering new bits and pieces.

On The Outside

 Here are some photos of the outside of  the Normandy Tank Museum.  The photos show how new it was at the time we went there - summer 2013.  You can also see some of the tanks they have kitted up for rides.

Lots Of Velvet

The thread of the day was Petite Very Velvet when I worked on this this week.  It went onto the saddle, the bridle, and the border.  I've had problems getting in my thread for the rest of the Fort Worth.  It supposedly shipped on Thursday.


National Wine Day

 You've got to love a country that makes a national holiday for wine.  That's what Moldova does every October.  Many wine and brandy makers set up booths in the major towns for free or very cheap tastings.  A good time is had by all, and the weather is usually gorgeous.  At this year's wine day we bought nine bottles of wine and three bottles of brandy/calvados.




Down To The Tail

 This is the end of the convoy.  You can tell from the unfinished walls that, in 2013, the museum was still under construction.  If you're at all into WWII European theater military vehicles, though, this should be on your list to visit.

Geografico

This restaurant has been around for over a year, but we've just never gone.  We ended up having Friday dinner here one week last month, and it was the most "Asian" food I've had in Chisinau.  Yay!   We will go back at some point to have the egg rolls and empanadas and other great appetizers.
