As a final entry to my rambling about our September visit I must include all the great hugs given and received during the two weeks we were there. Although it was such a short time we did get to see many of our friends and most of our Kansas family. ( I was very sad not to see my sister, her husband or my niece and nephew though. It has been more than 3 years now. Not fun. ) After our trip to Lubbock we stayed in Dallas for 3 days. People coming and going. Lots of catching up in a short amount of time! Then on Wednesday, early morning, off to Kansas for a few days. It was pretty cold for these desert dwellers but we survived. Mike attended his 35th high school reunion and all of us, except for Sallie, got to meet Harper Hildebrand. Harper is the first member of the next generation in our line. And she is a cutie. She wears the title well.

Another special hug came from my brother, Scott. I had not seen him in several years and actually did not know where he was living. Through many amazing connections and God working in his life, we saw each other Tuesday morning for breakfast. It was a wonderful reunion and I am so thankful for that blessing on top of all the other great things that happened on our trip.

The two weeks flew by and soon we were flying, too. Back to Doha, Sallie, and 90-100 degree temps. It is good to be back and over the jetlag. Mike is working hard and this week is a short one with Eid coming. Time for friends to come see us now!!
