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.

Summer Time

Well, summer is here.  And I love to gripe about the weather.  The current temperature is around 102F/39C.  It's hot outside.

The air conditioning maintenance guys were here a few days ago.  But....pigs are flying...they did a great job.  The munchkins' rooms are now like refrigerators - very cold. 

Our poor desert dog/saluki mix, Jesse, wants to spend more time outside in the heat.  She loves to lay on the hot bricks out in the sun.  This ice cold A/C is not her thing.  That would be kind of crazy - put a sweater on the dog so she's comfortable in the house.

As we reach the end of the school year and prepare to get on that plane to go 'home' for a few months, I always feel a bit odd.  I'm happy living here in the desert, I love this region, and we have many great friends here. But, there's just something about going 'home'. 

This year, we're all feeling a bit burned out.  I don't think it's where we're living.  It's just been a really crazy year.  But, we're here for the long haul, so I think it's seriously time for vacation.

Peace.
