MY HUBBY'S BEING MOVED.....

I got a call from Tony this morning (Wednesday, 11Am my time and 8PM his time) and he is being moved from Baghdad to Mosul tomorrow. (Thursday morning) So while I'm sleeping, he'll be moving north in Iraq. He has heard that Mosul is really quite nice. Temperature right now is in the 80's. Sounds good to me as it has been pretty darn cold here in Idaho lately!
This is a picture of some old houses in Mosul on the banks of the Tigris River.

Mosul is 396 km north of Baghdad and is Iraq's 2nd largest city with approximately 570,000 inhabitants. It is a major center for tourist resorts, trade industry and communications in Northern Iraq. It is sometimes described as the Pearl of the North. Today's word muslin (fabric) is derived from the name of the city.
Tony is excited to finally get to a place where he can unpack his bags and feel settled. He was hoping to get to see Curtis before leaving. He sounds good and said he is healthy and well.
I sure do miss him!

be strong Mom! He'll be fine. Glad that it sounds he's moving to a yet 'safer' environment. 80 degrees doesn't sound so bad either. Hope you're doing well!
