Thoughts of home and hope for the future

Ok. I admit it. I love cinnamon rolls. And I especially love them warm and gooey just out of the oven and dripping with frosting. Yummy! I love this snap for two reasons: First, the rolls. And Second, it shows my mum and I together in the kitchen. And, I have to add, the purple 4 sizes to big sweatshirt I'm wearing is one of my faves!

I had to buy a newspaper today. I bought a Khaleej Times at a local news stand. The big headline: "The World Has Changed." Wow. What a headline. Below it is a picture of President Obama taking the oath of office. The Khaleej Times website does not have the same headline (see www.khaleejtimes.com); why I'm not sure. The headline is from a quote, I believe, is from President Obama's speech. I know many many people who are hoping the new American president can bring about greater peace.

The munchkins are happy today. Munchkin #1 has had a school project deadline extended, Munchkin #2 has a friend over currently, and I can hear happy sounds coming from the munchkin side of our home.

For a brief moment, a breath of fresh air and a sigh of peace.

Now, I need to go eat some left-over kabob meat and hommous!
