Snowstorm's a-comin', Anni!!

Yesterday I sent Br. Salem and his wife, Fatima, to the airport. They were going home for good, to Mali. That's Prof. Yahya and his wife, Zenaba (with baby) saying goodbye to the young couple...
On the way back, I stopped by CCAC to attend a meeting (won a door prize!), got some Salem Halal boxed meals (for $6.00 total, his wish is my command) and ground beef, before I got mired in one of the worst blizzard-induced traffic jams in the city and reaching home at 8:00 pm on the dot.

Whew, what a day!!

Munir's Goodbye

Finally the tima has come. Munir and Mais leaving the country...

One of Munir's many 'gifts'; Hana's dresser for $8.00...
Ready to roll, Munir?
Our other halves, saying goodbye, too..
Delta lines. Had to reload the bags for optimum efficiency..
One final picture before we parted ways; me towards Indiana, them onwards to Amman...
Thanks Munir, for all the memories! For helping us move to our new house! And your bargain furniture!! Remember the fish we caught!!

Last Kopek Monopoly

Since Amin and Aishah are both leaving early tomorrow morning, the boys decided to play one last game..

Hamzah asks Amin to pay up his hotel bills
Muhsin trying his killer-dice roll..
Opps...Muhsin landed on Hamzah's property, too! Lucky for him, it wasn't his turn, so he forfeited..
Winner:
Muhsin, with cash $5561 + property
Hamzah, with cash $4175+ property
Amin, with cash $3172+ property
Luqman, with cash $2264+ property

It was a good long 14 days being together again. We had really good days!!

-------------------

It's Colder Today!

It's about 18 F today.
Even the snowperson wants to get inside!
Not much warmer in the smart...

Snowsculpting with Hana

From afar, Hana sculpting the first snowperson, before the head fell off....
Gotta rebuild! Here's new upper body or torso..
Final touches on the teeth
It's done!!
Looking good..

First of the Year 2010

The beginning of a new year, and a new decade. We went to Sears Pic Studio for a family photo sit. Here's what I was wearing...
Munir came by with my Ol' Faithful. He's loaning the van until the 4th when he and Mais leave for Jordan to their new jobs. For the big move, he needed to stowaway the van seats...
Happy 2010, People!! Hope this year works out for you all!!
