Back in the sand

Greetings! Back in the sand! It's been a busy jet-lagged few days. I've been helping out at my previous place of full-time employment over the last four days, the husband is prepping for a marathon, the kids are swamped with homework, and all our luggage is still strewn across our living room floor. But, we've got all our critters home safe and sound, the fridge is full, and I have a tummy full of dates, flat bread and hummous. All is well with my little world.

It was really good being back at our house in the home country. But, I worry about our house and friends there more than I used to as I hear/learn about increasing breakin's and attempted breakin's happening in our neighborhood. Very scary stuff. At least, we have a great alarm system on the home country house and wonderful neighbors and friends. Here, it is very comforting to know we have good security and great neighbors and friends. Too many blessings to count.

Well, off to eat some 'grilled' chicken and some more hommous. I'll post as news happens!
