Day 38… my 1st abaya
***
The year… 2004
just landed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
the headscarf (Hijab)
was for the benefit of hubby’s Saudi colleagues
…with all due respect 🙂
pssst…
this was one of those self-timer shots
(camera set on the window sill)
for we be of the ‘Pre-selfie Generation’ (lol)

from saudi with love 
Helena! This is a lovely photo and it’s so great to SEE you!
Your photo… this is 57… with glasses ON… inspired this photo post of me!
Thou I was 52 then and would have left my glasses on the window sill…
next to the camera after setting the self-timer… still too proud…
at 62… I often forget to take my glasses off for a photo shoot. 🙂
So… here’s me at 62… with glasses ON… taking a ‘selfie’… using a mirror…
to showcase my NEW abaya… #3… with winged sleeves… cuffed at the wrist!
Lovely, Helena–you and the abaya!
pssst… #2 Abaya… is now my ‘walking’ companion… 🙂
