I always need more Texas items. It's the law.  

Andreas found this silver dollar on the ground in Pigeon Forge as we were going in to a quilting store.  

Monuments on Utah beach honoring the men who got everyone there.  

When Andreas is home, Grayson is his dog. When he isn't, I am. But we all know he's actually Leonora's dog.  

Monkeys in tubes, where they can't throw anything at you or bite you.  

We had one last hot pot meal at Luxi Beef with Leonora before she left last spring. Yes, I'm way behind on photos.  

Utah Beach has one of the larger displays for D-Day. It even has a museum. The tank traps are original. The landing boat is a replica.  

Nice and simple design that would be good for crewel on a large bench at the Knoxville zoo.  

Two little puppies staying vigilant, watching over the back yard.  

Puppies enjoying themselves while sleeping.  

This is a monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and stands right outside the POLin museum.  

They are even cuter when they're awake. They have great personalities.  

Pretty little things from Zenpop. I miss them. They have my subscription on hold until the tariff/customs situation settles itself out.  

Both POLin museum and the WWII museum in Gdansk have recreations of streets from the interwar period. They show what was lost.  

Even little local frogs get some love at the zoo.  

We all shared a giant pizza after the zoo. It was so big the pepperoni in the photos were normal sized.  

We left the tunnels from a different place than we entered. Still well hidden and forested area, though. Project Reise was rather huge.
