A VISIT TO THE PASAR

Valentine’s day was this week.  For many couples it is a time for love, romance, and plenty of good memories.  As a couple we have a history of difficult Valentine’s days, it has been going on for years.  One year I (Eileen) even broke my back on Valentine’s day.  Russell was out of town and I spent the night at the hospital ER.  The worst day of Russell's professional career was on a Valentine's day.

This week has been no different than past years.  On Tuesday I went to a neurosurgeon to discuss some health issues I have been having.  The good news is that the price was great.  EEG-$28, MRI-$300, Neurologist visit-$30, Neurosurgeon visit-$50.   Lunch at the hospital-$25.  (Lunch was great but not cheap).  Unfortunately the “episode” I had about a month ago recurred yesterday and I think put a scare into Russell.  Something similar ocurred when I was in Jordan about 8 years ago. After many doctor visits we never really figured out what happened. 

The week also brought an end to a project that we have been planning for close to three months. It was a sad ending to something we were both very excited about.  The project was supposed to start next week.

We have been saving our pasar (market) pictures for such a week as this one.  So, since we don’t have much else to talk about . . . enjoy our visit to the market.  The local market is one of my favorite places to go on Saturday morning.  We love to look, but don’t always buy.
