To wish you a very happy Christmas season, truly wish you could spend it in Egypt and that we could show you some of these wondrous sights.... we're very fond of the picture of the geese from Maydum, a beautiful painting on plaster done about 2400 B.C.
I was wildly excited and delighted to receive those copies of woman's day on Nov. 25. I really did feel like an American celebrating Thanksgiving as I never have before out here.
Thanks so much. Affectionate greetings Kermit and Grace
