Not yet a horse

Very little stitching yesterday....
The star is complete and the left border also. As  much as I enjoy these kits, they ae a challenge sometimes. There a so many blank spaces for the beads that counting twice does not always work. I have had to re-do a few times. Hope to stitch more today as tomorrow there will most likely not be any stitching; I have an appointment for my eye exam at noon. Vickie, who has 2 blogs: here  and here, emailed me and offered to take me rather that to wait any longer. Totally out of her way, but a friend indeed.
today. . The garden chores are complete; fountain water added and With the household chores completed I plan to make Pizzelles later.
With each recent visit, The Brother Alan and Lisa have brought and left clothing and items and leaving with empty suit cases. This time Alan also brought these. They are awards, back row:
 the Massachusetts Police Commissioner, Nassau County Police Department 4th Squad, Adjunct General  Rhode Island National Guard for Excellence in Standards and Discipline, Federal Law Enforcement US Department of Homeland Security. The front row: Department of State Diplomatic Security Service, Signature Costumer Service, and Federal Law Enforcement Training Center of Homeland Security. These are not the last of awards I am sure. Eventually we will find a more fitting place to display them. Yes, I am proud of him and what he has accomplished.
Wonderful having time to chat with you. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

That's kind of Vickie, I presume you can't drive after the examination.
Alan has won a nice lot of awards. You should put them on the windowsill to deter potential burglars!
