Seriously Busy

Just a Note:  Holy Smokes - 2 posts in 2 days!  Actually I started this post April 27th & I just finished it today!  Insha'Allah

My favorite mosque at dusk.  Look at the lights inside.

So this is how it's gonna be - I post 1 huge post with lots of pictures & a summary. I love blogging, as well as lots of other things, & I'm struggling to make it all work. Perhaps I should have taken an artful picture of the embarrassing mound of clean laundry in the guest room.

A new mosque I found a couple of weeks ago while stopped at a red light.  I'm always looking in these parts.  I made a mental note to come back.

I got to ride on a dhow.  It was a date night for me & the hubby. Nice hair!  This picture cracks me up & makes me wanna sing Rio.

A special package that I just mailed off.

The Trash to Treasure project with Operation Hope.

We celebrated the completion of the second session.  I am so inspired by what the ladies have continued to achieve. This session the ladies have made rugs & jewelry to purchase things for their community living there: meeting tables, laundry detergent, shampoo, soap.  We are currently assessing needs to make bigger purchases.  This time around I also took on a larger role; in addition to teaching the jewelry makers, I gave 2 lectures: Habit 5 & one on business basics.

The view for my birthday.

Spa Day!  I had a birthday weekend :)
