Hi there!...We are all dressed up and are going over to Fulla's house on Monday to celebrate Shemm en-Nessem. What a wonderful day! First, early in the morning we will break open an onion, and smell it. You see, Shemm en-Nessem means to smell the air. Everybody who's anybody will be dining in the country or on the river. We, ourselves, are planning to go on a picnic and eat fermented mullet. After that, we may walk a bit along the Nile River. Hopefully, the Cairo air will be clean tomorrow. At times it can be "violent and hot, accompanied by clouds of dust". So, make sure on Monday to stop and smell the flowers...or an onion. Bye-bye now, bye-bye, bye-bye now!
Now...if only I can get the baby dressed!
April, you have given a whole new meaning to "I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world"!

ReplyDeleteIs that dark line across the back of the diaper the "don't fill beyond this" line?
