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.

Dinner At Cafe Do Mar

Andreas and I went out to Cafe do Mar on the beach a couple of times before leaving Angola.  The sound of the surf was relaxing and the decor fit well - modern and squared off.  The service was better than most of Angola, but still could have used help.  Food was both delicious and pretty.




Resort Views


The restaurant and resort are on a lake.  The view is good, and there are antelope around.  It was still a bit dry and dusty.
