Getting ready to head for the sandbox

Well.....that time is now totally upon me. I need to pack up.

On another note, http://gulfnews.com/pictures/life-style/top-ways-to-drape-your-hijab-this-season-1.674267 I found this article this morning scanning newspapers. The first picture shows the style I'm used to seeing, but some of the others are really new to my eye.

If I 'cover up,' I just keep it loose and comfortable.

Peace.

Wow, is it really that time?

I need to be brief; there is just so much to do!

Well, we're just about ready to head back for the giant sand box of fun. But, it's cool and crisp outside here, and the fluffy clouds and green trees beckon (not to mention the rockin' new mountain bike I got this summer).

I just read this other blog post which I thought some of you would find interesting:
http://agneshee.blogspot.com/2010/08/friday-prayers-in-dubai.html I am posting this not to be offensive or invasive to the men in the photo, but simply to show a little slice of peaceful life from the Middle East. Plus, I suspect that the place of prayer was totally full and could not hold everyone, thus the men pray on the streets. Still, a very peaceful scene.

Now, I better get to work around here (my cheap sofa here in the lower level is WAY too comfortable) or this house may not be so peaceful.

Peace.
