As with the last MaM, if you have any questions for Mmi Fatima, please feel free to email them to me.
Mmi Fatima is younger than your grandma then, and may be around Aunty Mame's age - sounds like she is as much a character. Does she have a lot of admirers too, like Aunty Mame? Has she visited her daughters overseas?
ReplyDeleteshe seems awesome!
ReplyDeleteShe is fascinating. How do you know her?
ReplyDeleteThis awesome lady, aka my host mother for one month, doesn't reveal much info about her admirers. I doubt she has any though--puttering around the house and napping makes her a busy woman. She hasn't been abroad, but she thinks our town is small.
