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.

Got A Horn

Finally back to working on this kit I bought in Ukraine. It's a cute ram and will be done soon.

Medieval Feast

When on home leave, we like to catch the Ren Faire down in Magnolia. We went with friends who had never been before. It was great, though we were a bit disappointed in the entertainment at the feast. Previously,  there were several acts who would pop in and do short versions of their shows. Last year, only one did. 









Saint Naim Monastery

Saint Naim is where Cyril and Methodus set out from to educate and Christianize eastern Europe. It is now also a beach destination. Located at the southern end of Lake Ohrid, it has a system of springs that feed into the lake, a beach, a picnic area, boat dock, several restaurants, and a hotel. The little monastery itself is swamped in all the other stuff. at least it's pretty. And it has peacocks.
