My Aunt Ghashangi, my father's sister, is very educated
I can't believe one week has gone by. It's been a full week, yet it has gone by very quickly. I did some work today and then my Aunt Ghashangi, my father's sister, came for a visit. She stayed for most of the day, so I was not able to do as much work as I wanted to. However, it was nice to see her. I had to help her down to the cab we had called for her, and she walks with the support of a walker. It took a long time to get her ready, into the elevator, and down the walk to the waiting cab. I helped her in and then paid the driver extra to drive carefully and ring the doorbell of her house so that her help can come and assist her.

Meanwhile, two of my mother's friends came for a visit. We sat in the balcony and the unusually cool night breeze allowed us to enjoy kuku kadu (zucchini kuku) with yougurt and sangak bread. The night view from my mother's balcony is breathtaking, especially at night. We had serious conversations and humorous ones. We discussed politics and told jokes. Iranians will always enjoy each other's company and know how to laugh albeit difficult times.

What a pretty view.
Sheyda joon: Merci azizam for inviting me to go to Iran with you. I'd love to . . . one of these years. Where does your Mom live? Shahrakeh Gharb? And what is the tower that looks like the Seattle Needle? I keep seeing it in pictures of Tehran. I have a lot of respect for your Mom. She is very resilient. Knock on wood, she is doing so well. She looks great too. Give her my regards. And what a wonderful name your Aunt Ghashangi has! Ghorboonet,Nazi
