A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

A happy relaxed day

Current temperature: 99F

Forecasted high: 97F

The munchkins each had two friends over today to swim and play. The husband made hotdogs and curly fries, and I made chocolate chip cookies. It was a lovely morning. One of the hardest things about living here is seeing good friends move. Munchkin #2 has experienced quite a bit of that. You make friends, but then they leave a year later to return to their home country. But, the joy is having so many friends from so many different places.

It was clear earlier today, but now there's so much sand blowing that I can no longer see the buildings just a short run from here. Still, I'd like to go for one more quick swim at the beach before the sunlight's gone.

The video today is of a school of fish that were feeding in the algae. We've nicknamed them 'Bobs'. We just thought they looked like they should have the name 'Bob'. I have no clue what species they are. I just think they're fun to swim with.

3 days and a wake-up until we get on the plane to head for the home country for a while.

Hope the swimming is good where ever you are.
