Happy Labor Day Weekend


Hello All,
I found these gents sitting outside their shop selling their wares... lamb. I had a male interpreter take the pictures so we could see this up close. Thought you'd find it interesting. I was thinking with all the Labor Day BBQs happening throughout America it seemed timely... Afghans love to BBQ too. But, no Labor Day Celebrations here.
Like Asa, the interpreter who took these pictures is quite fluent in English and studying at the local university at night, Politics I believe. He's a most pleasant young man with a large extended family... I give him some of the goodies I receive from home so he can give them to his nieces. Well, he tells me he gives them to his nieces.
Good news, scary news to share. I noted yesterday the ants were no longer milingering around in my bathroom... no idea why but happy to see them gone. This morning I saw the lizard.
Well, start of another week. And, today is church day which I hope to make... they hold services at 4 which can be tough to make.
Today's blog hug goes out to my beautiful niece, STEPHANIE who's got to be awful close to bringing our newest family member, Gabe into the world soon.
Happy Labor Day to All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
