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.

Latest and greatest....maybe [Warning: loads of opinion]

More than anything, these types of posts are so my mum and dad can read what I'm reading. I have other family members who like to read what I read. Blogging is just way easier than putting together a bunch of emails.

Just heard on the BBC that the U.S. had 'no warning' that troops (BCC says 'Saudi') were going to go into Bahrain. Give me a break. It's common chatter amongst ex-patriots that eventually this would happen. If I'VE heard people talking about this then..... well, anyhow.... Long-term ex-pats have always been a bit concerned about Bahrain (my opinion).

The husband wanted to do some business travel this week. I told him, "NO WAY! We're in the middle of moving house AND there's a bunch of mess in the region. NO WAY!"

Time to get back to packing boxes and bags.

Peace.
