...I had the salesman, Abdul, at the local bazaar looking high and low for this exact rug. According to my mom, it needed to be "a little darker, not so bright, like maybe a brick red or barn red". I informed her that if Abdul was indeed Afghan, he has probably never seen a red brick or a barn in his life...but I relayed it anyway. We both got what we wanted, and now she has a hand-made rug headed her way. Way to be persistent, mom, it paid off! At least no one in this country can accuse us Americans of not knowing EXACTLY what we want!! lolKeep your eye on the mailbox, Happy (early) Mother's Day!!...I hope you like it...then again, you better!! just kidding! Love you and Dad.
