Eid

We are celebrating Mike's new job.  What a relief this week to not have to be working on figuring out our next move.  Mike worked for two hours on Thursday and then began a week of vacation.  It is Eid al Adha. The Festival of Sacrifice where Muslims remember Abraham's test to sacrifice his son.   We are also enjoying a visit from Russell.  So glad to have him here. He planned to go to Tajikistan but decided at the last minute to come here instead.  I think all my references to the wonderful weather convinced him. :)
