Me at the Decor tile factory (with one of our displays in the background) 

Rahmani had just woken up (he's about 2 here) 

She's off!

OK, folks. We drove mom to the airport last night at half past midnight, and she called us on her cell to tell us she got in OK. Sope, she's off again on one of her multi-annual trips to Canada (in business-class style). Hope she arrives safely and has a good, productive trip.
