It's time for our favorite part of the year. While our friends are getting colder and temperatures are dropping in the US, we have moved onto the patio with mint tea and butter cookies. Plans for Thanksgiving are taking shape.Good friends, Jeff and Mary, are coming to visit from Oman. Even though homesickness also gets us, like missing fall colors, missing Sallie and Ryan, our families, and great friends,we appreciate what we have here, too! I will say that keeping a sense of humor makes it better here when things get hard. And for that, we have Robert.
A few Fridays ago, while driving to church, which is not a very pretty drive, Robert had us laughing out loud. Our route to church takes us right thru a construction materials sight. Robert, under his breath, "Ah the Rolling Hills of Doha...." We miss green trees and green grass. We miss fall colors and Thanksgiving decorations...but we do like laughing. And we love our middle of the winter temperatures! :)
