Merhaba,

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone.  We’re having a pot luck to celebrate.  Randal had intended to make some type of beef stew but as three other folks had announced that intention first, he reverted to the recipe he really wanted to try.  Much more Italian than Irish with its sundried tomatoes, garlic, mozzarella cheese, chicken, basil, half and half all served over pasta. 

   Tomorrow I’m off with a small group of folks for two days of trekking on the Datҫa Peninsular.  Randal isn’t going so Rhino Randal is getting to go on this outing.  Weather for Wednesday is iffy, though improving, but Thursday should be beautiful.  Hope to get lots of photos.  Randal and I were there in 2011 on our motorbike and it looked a lovely area for walking.

  I visited the small art center and found this charming exhibit.  I’m not one for embroidery really, but I liked this work with the treads creating images of porches and doors and sailing boats.  The “scrap bits of paper” and repurposed pantyhose were all quite clever too.  There are some links below with more images, but the text is Turkish.

Ps  I had a new hard drive installed as mine was about to crash.  I’m still working out lots of kinks with the email and photo program.  Hope this works
