Our dear friends of the Cairo Branch gave a going away party for those that are leaving this spring. I just couldn't believe that it was our time. We have a traditional goodbye gift that I wasn't so sure that I wanted. There is a scroll with three little vials tied to it containing sand, air and water. Each represents something to take with you from Cairo and the scroll explains each element. I've heard it read so many times, but now that they were reading it to me, I didn't want to be pushed out of the nest, for good. It was a great way to end our last day in Egypt. We had a great dinner and lots of visiting. And of course, pictures.

We have our scroll and vials in a shadow box like frame on our wall. Sweet Phyllis! It's sort of strange to look at pictures of the branch and not know so many of the people! What a great memory!
so I figured out the name of the thumbs: clubbed thumb. Check it out on wikipedia!
okay, I just found a website: http://alfparelli.wordpress.com/about/
Aww... I felt that way too, but you never know when you'll get back. That's where Brandon and Ashley are going! And James always said we'd probably end up back there someday.
