Well, I have been in Jeddah for three months now.... only a little while longer and our time here will be up.... time flies.... :)    It has been a change for us but we will learn a lot about ourselves and will come home more appreciative of the many blessings we have. The people here are gracious and friendly. They have a lot more layed back way of living.... just less value on how things are accomplished.... that said it is not home.... but that did not take a rocket scientist to figure out.... lol.
    We have a new kitty and now we have a name for her.... Jidda Kitty.... like Jeddah City. Jaddah means grandmother..... Jeddah is supposed to be the burial place of Eve by the way... they have covered over the burial site but you can still see it marked on the map.
    Tim and I played hockey yesterday on ice.... lots of fun but it will be the last time till fall as most of our players have gone home for the summer. That is ok..... I sort of tweeked my knees a bit and will mend up this summer with working out in the gym on weight machines, running, and swimming. Tim, Patty, Josh, and I are signed up to run a 10k back in Minnesota in October. :)
    We also went to a little zoo here in Jeddah on Thursday... They had birds and a bear and a Shetland pony.... stuff like that..... they also had a great garden shop that was fun to look through... we got some flowers, seeds, and a hose nozzle.... nice! Oh and there was a Nestle Tollhouse Cookie Coffee Cafe by the zoo and of course we did make a stop there.... :).
    Well Tim just left for work.... I best be thinking about getting ready for work also.... I am working as a sub here on compound for a couple of people who are going home over the summer.... it keeps me busy. :) Keep following.... God Bless!
