Tajrish bazaar, the vegetable market
Rose petals and dried berries at the grocers
Today is the birth of Imam Hassan so offices are closed and shops are open. Not that it matters, Mom and I were invited to a close friend of the family for lunch who happens to be the mother in law of my cousin. We picked up another one of Mom's friends and Aunt Fakhri and went to Aghdas's house. Her husband was away so it was a ladies lunch. Aghdas Farboud is a lovely, knowledged woman who always extends her help as much as she can. She has found a home for the dog I have been trying to save.

After a lovely lunch, I left the ladies and walked over to Ali Bolobli's house. Ali is the son of the late Iranian artist, Mokarrameh, whose paintings I will be exhibiting at Teachers College this Autumn. We discussed possibilities for the exhibition and then talked about holding a day of painting at his mother's house this Friday. I will be traveling with him to his mother's village and we will set up all the art supplies at her house. I'll spend the night at his sister's and then we will run the art classes all day on Friday. Mom is coming also. She wants to see Mokarrameh's house and she would like to paint also. The event will be announced in the local papers. Should be interesting.

Later on, my cousin Nanaz picked me up and we went to the bazaar in Tajrish and did some shopping, mainly dried herbs, henna, fruits, and holistic medicines. Later on, I went to her house and had dinner.
