Thought I'd mix things up on you a little. Here is a picture of my beautiful sister Mauria and her daughter/my niece the wonderful Jillian.
And, a follow-up on the Kabul Conference. A big success, very little impact from the insurgents/terrorists... a very good thing for the Afghan government. Unfortunately, we lost 5 US military personnel today down in the southern part of the country (I'm up north).
Americans are just wonderful people and the Afghans I get to speak with are most appreciative of our efforts to help their country. In all actuality, they have a hard time comprehending the concept of Americans and our allies. Imagine, people from half way across the world leaving their families to help people they do not even know, sometimes sacrificing their own lives toward that cause. As I've told you before, the good ones (Afghans) are just a kind and generous people; unfortunately, only the bad ones seem to get the press.
Asa is off for the next few days to attend her sister's wedding. She promises to bring some pictures in upon her return, but I'm not allowed to share these pictures with you because men are not allowed to look at pictures of women. Oh well, too bad for you. :-}.
This blog hug is a no brainer.... my beautiful Sister Mauria and of course my equally beautiful niece Jillian xxxooo
Jill said, "Awww...that's so sweet." I think you made her feel special...again.
ReplyDeleteYou made me feel pretty good too. Thanks.
Missed having you at the house last night. We had a fantastic meal. Tom picked up meat and a nice Syrah from the Meat House in Bedford, I went to the farm for produce. We raised our glass and toasted you. Jillia made her signature brownies. We didn't have black raspberry ice cream (the way you like it) so we 'slummed it' with vanilla. I must say, drizzling caramel on the top was almost as good. Fridays just aren't the same. I'm proud of what you're doing, I just miss 'ya.
