Thank you for your kind wishes, Bob. The weather here in Michigan is
lovely, at least to my way of thinking. It's unseasonably cool with no
humidity, unlike last week when it was in the 90's with a thousand per
cent humidity.

Muslims are exempted from fasting if they have health problems. I am not
a diabetic but I have difficulties fasting nonetheless. My husband
fasts, as does my daughter, son-in-law and the two oldest children. The
two youngest give up something. This Ramadan one is not drinking pop,
the other is not eating sweets.

I've always meant to tell you how nice it is that you give shout-outs
(for lack of a better word) to Muslims despite all of the nasty flack
you receive from some posters.
