Just being Mum

We've been running around taking snaps/pics of different things with a 'Flat Stanley' paper doll for Munchkin #2's school project. We came across this gorgeous wooden staircase at the Mina Al Salaam (I think that's what it's called) hotel when we were in town. Munchkin #1 had a bit of fun with the giant coffee pot pretending to have a drink! This style of coffee pot is a local symbol of hospitality. Maybe when/if we have family come visit us next spring, I'll have a good chance to take some folks tourist shopping and buy one for my home country house (a normal size one that is). I will email out the Flat Stanley snaps and post them to 'my other fave place to make postings.'

In a previous post, I voiced my displeasure at a photo of Senator John McCain. A relative of mine pointed out to me some very disagreeable (to put it mildly) things he has done in his life. To put it another way, this family member no longer thinks of McCain as a 'nice' man. I'm going to quote this family member, hope this family member doesn't mind! (If you do mind, email me and I'll change this post).

"I used to think McCain was a "nice" man. Don't anymore because: Obama attacks, Pallin appt., and history of womanizing which, unfortunately, may still influence his actions. (Would he have appointed Pallin if she had been in a car wreck and had become physically unattractive--like happened to his first wife?) He dumped his first wife for millionairess after first wife had stuck by him through thick and thin. That, and other info that has come out and the nature of his Obama attack ads and his letting Pallin make the kind of remarks she has made have turned me off completely." Well put, thanks.

Less than two weeks until the election.
