Thanksgiving – Star Legend

and yes, there was turkey. Also gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. All of it was quite tasty. I skipped the pie.

back in time a moment –

this is the central square – blown up to max as we sailed by

and these are the right and left portions of the bridge we sailed under

and, of course, this is the P&O giant that we followed. and yes, she did clear the bridge. Barely.

and my day? Spent checking on George as he made his flight in Frankfurt which wound up significantly delayed. He was rescued by daughter #2 at SFO accompanied by what I think was a pretty tired pup from a day spent charging around at the beach,

Otherwise, I finished Woodland Dreams – Barbara Ana ~5500 stitches. called for DMC on 18 ct Aida

and added another 550 stitches to Dreaming of Klimt by the same designer.

 

and, just because I know that some of you will understand – I managed to hit a whooping 11kb/sec download speed on a file this afternoon. Which goes a long way to why I am going with fewer and smaller pictures as well as short replies..

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!

    11 kb/s? Do you have to put your phone into a cradle and listen to a long series of beeps and whistles when you start?

    I hope you’re paying by the Megabyte and not by the minute.
