No, it is not the title of the latest Hollywood blockbuster. Its the bottom line of the gifts from our friends in Boise when we moved to Singapore. One of the first things that we did when we arrived in Singapore was to pose with all the gifts that we have.

My wife clad in gifts from head to toe. A touch of Africa for me, a reminder of the multi-ethnic nature of our mosque in Boise

A picture of a hill that shows the color of Idaho, “so that you won’t forget Idaho”, said Kevin who gave the picture on behalf of my friends at the IDL where I work. He mentioned the guy who took the picture and also the location of the mountain, but I forgot where it is.

One book for Hanif and one book for me.

And the most precious bits for us are the inscriptions on the back of the picture, and also on the lining of the headscarf.

Yes, Cheryl had sewn the words on the linings of the headscarf that say: From Boise with Love. A friend at our mosque told us that somebody (which must be Cheryl) called the mosque to ask where she can buy a headscarf for her friend that is moving out of town. She then bought the headscarf and took care to sew the words along the side of the headscarf.

Thank you my friends!
