Massie, you are really one of a kind, there is no one in the whole wide biggest world like you!
You are not only the bestest Massie that I could have, but you are my friend, counselor, shepherd, foolishness companion and a great cook!
Thank you for always sacrificing yourself for us and giving us the best, most of all, for giving us you and your time. I hope that when I have children they will be as proud of their mother as I am of you. You are really a sample of love for the lost, love for your brothers and sisters and most of all, a dedicated, whole hearted disciple.
I love you, Massie!!
P.S. Sorry that I don't have a pic...but as you can see from the older posts, she really is gorgeous both inside and out.

Una probadita Arabe...
Ayer sali con un amigo a ver el viejo centro de la capital de
Encontramos un pasaje arabe donde hay cafeterias/restaurantes y tienda, etc.
Y claro, no pude pasar la oportunidad de probar un "pipa de agua" o "hookah".
( foto a la izq.) Se puede usar para fumar diferentes sustancias
Su origen es de Arabia, pero atra vez
Dependiendo de la localidad, tiene diferentes nombres tales
Bueno, esa fue la experiencia
A hookah (Arabic: شيشة; Hindustani: हुक़्क़ा / حقّہ) is a multi-stemmed, often glass-based water pipe device for smoking, originating from Arabia but gained fame and spread to the world under the Ottoman Turks.[citation needed] A hookah operates by water-filtration and indirect heat. It can be used for smoking many substances, such as herbal fruits and tobacco. Depending on locality, hookahs are known as other names, such as a shisha/sheesha, water pipe, nargeela/nargile/narghile/nargileh, argeela/arghileh, okka, kalyan, gewat suckre, hubble bubble, or ghelyoon/ghalyan. Many of these names are of Arab, Somalian, Indian, Ethiopian, Turkish, Uzbek, or Persian origin. Narghile (نارگيله) is from the Persian word nārgil (نارگیل) or “coconut”, and in Sanskrit nārikela (नारीकेल) and it was made out of coconut shells.[1] Shisha (شيشة) is from the Persian word shishe (شیشه, literally translated as glass and not bottle). Hashish (حشيش) is an Arabic word for grass, which may have been another way of saying tobacco. Another source states, “In early Arabic texts, the term hashish referred not only to cannabis resin but also to the dried leaves or flower heads and sweetmeats made with them”.[2] Hookah itself may stem from Arabic uqqa, meaning small box, pot, or jar. Both names refer to the original methods of constructing the smoke/water chamber part of the hookah.
Narghile is the name most commonly used in Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Greece, Cyprus, Albania, Israel, Bulgaria and Romania, though the initial “n” is often dropped in Arabic. Shisha is more commonly seen in Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Somalia. In Iran it is called ghalyoun or ghalyan (قليان) and in Pakistan and India it is referred to as huqqa. The archaic form of this latter name, hookah is most commonly used in English for historical reasons, as it was in India that large numbers of English-speakers first sampled the effects of the water pipe.
