New Friends

We've been without Internet for about five days, due to some phone lines down on our road, so I wasn't able to do any posts until now. A few days ago we had Amy and David Hoffman over for dinner. David is a teacher at the University for Peace here in town. We heard about them through a Baha'i friend who lives across the street from their place in town. Amy is, we hear, a very talented artist and crafts-person.

Also, for dinner, to our great delight were the rarely seen, Anne and Parviz Ighani. Julie was able to button-hole Annie, while I caught up with a million things from Parviz after dinner.

And with us, as well, was our dear (lonely) brother, Dick Hicks. (Poor fellow is without his second half! Brenda is taking care of the grandchildren in the States for a few months.)

All in all, we had a very unusual and educational evening with all these people. (It must have been a successful gathering because we kept talking until 11pm, and that's very unusual for us!)

Thank you each and all for a great get-together!
