Where's Bridget?
We're doing OK after the quake. No aftershocks that I felt here...just the one big quake. I was reading the local paper here and they were asking one of the local mucky-muck government people if they thought Jakarta could w/stand a large quake directly...and of course he said that all the sky scrapers here (200+) could easily with stand one. That's all fine and dandy...but the 17 million people here don't live in the 200+ sky scrapers. They've been fortunate that none of the major earthquakes here have directly hit Jakarta as the epicenter. THAT would be a disaster. God willing, it'll never happen.
Ramadan's going well. My son and I spent the day today cooking for the week - manicotti and chicken and dumplings. Tomorrow - Labor Day - he has to go to school, but I'm off for the day, so I'll spend the day baking a large cake to freeze...then assembling it next Friday. Saturday a group of us are going to a house for cancer kids - sort of like a Ronald McDonald house, where one parent lives with them while the kids go through cancer treaments. We're going to host an iftar for them Saturday, and I'm making a cake that'll look like a mosque. I'm looking forward to it...it should be fun and hopefully bring a little happiness to them while they go through their illness.

Holly,
Thank you so much for thinking of me. Laurie told me that there was an inquisition as to where I was. LOL I have been checking in here briefly, but haven't had much time to post. I do use my Facebook a lot, because I can do that from my phone. I will post an update of all that is going on. How are you, sweetie?
Hugs

I'm glad you're doing OK. I know things get busy and life gets in the way of doing everything you want...I just wanted to make sure everything was alright.
Facebook...someday I'm gonna have to break down and sign up. So many people I know - here and friends of mine - are there. Guess I'm a dinosaur dragging my heels into the next millenium.
Things are fine for me. Just thinking of all that we have to do to get ready to get out of here in three months. Ugh. I don't mind moving around the world...it's the actual MOVING I hate.
Post an update when you can.
