Palm's Done

Absolute progress!  The palm tree is done, so all that's left is pot and borders. 

Calvados Making equipment

 Some of  the equipment is out of date, of course, but the rest is still used.  The storage barrels are all full of wonderful-smelling apple brandy.

My Own Photos

 While we were in Frankfurt, we decided to replace the point and shoot.  Instead of making it Andreas' backup camera, though, we decided I would carry it.  We went to the the Palmgarten, the Frankfurt botanic garden, and I took a lot of photos.  These are the first of them.  The place is beautiful.

Corner Rounded

Progress! The corner is rounded and the backstitching in that corner is done.  Yay.

Filling In The Sheep

Somehow that phrase has the exact intonation in my mind as "Bringing In The Sheaves".  Anyway, the sheep are coming along, if slowly.  They look like they have personalities now.

Pere Magelore On The Outside

 This is what the grounds of Pere Magelore look like on a sunny summer day.  They're very pretty in that country French way.

Ayrodee Again

Since Ayrodee was so wonderful the first time and we can't get Thai food here in Moldova, we went to Ayrodee a second time during our week in Frankfurt.  We even considered going back a third.  This time, Andreas went straight to the satay appetizer, which he finished off.  I had a tom ka soup as a starter and wee both had chicken main courses.  Mine was with cashews.  Andreas' was fried rice.  It was all wonderful and waaaay too much food.  It was also relatively inexpensive for a German restaurant, as both time our tab totaled less than thirty euro!
