Love the bathtub photo -- very clever float idea for a charity parade! And the curry dinner photos are fun as well. Always great getting together with friends, especially if the food is excellent :-)
HA - what a fun float, much more light-hearted than the organization's purpose would indicate.
A good idea to cheer people up and to see the funny side of things if at all possible. Great float - shame you weren't in the bath yourself!
Cute float indeed, and I hope there wasn't really water in the tub, or those folks waving would have been really prunes by the end of the parade!
Nice bath photo but I had to wonder why there was a subtitle in Arabic underneath?
You are lucky to have so many friends to socialize with so close around. I guess that is an advantage to not moving around as often as I have, your whole life.
Rub-a-dub tub indeed. Looks like a boys night out too.
Curious to know what year your photo is from.
'not sure Kurt.At a guess late-70's given the young lad's haircut.
Kristin , that's Rumi's persian name.It kinda slipped down the page!
