Ice Hockey Group we play with in Jeddah
We are continually blessed on our "Adventure". One of the blessing we enjoy here in Saudi is the fact we still get to play hockey. We had never thought we would be playing hockey in Saudi Arabia but here we are..... blessed by being allowed to play hockey together, in a place where women are strongly discouraged from playing in sports.... especially with men. We  enjoy playing ice hockey and street hockey here, together.... what fun in our books.
Tim was placed in the hospital for three days last week after eating dinner out for our 33rd anniversary. He ended up in the hospital 2 days after eating out ....we thought he just had a bad case of flu with severe dehydration brought on by moderate to severe food poisoning. We had great care...  and a bit of a scare.... but he was up and about and playing ice hockey 3 days after being released from the hospital.
Then again ..... last night we played street hockey about 50 miles north of Jeddah.... had a wonderful time.... but on the way home our car had mechanical problems and we got to experience parking under the Saudi Arabian desert sky together.... buahahaha..... (not like teenagers.... just waiting for help to arrive) .... We were back to the compound and in bed by 1:30AM.... and then up to the alarm to prepare for work by 5:40AM plus a 10 minute snooze.... :)
All in all.... we are continually blessed..... Praise Him!!!!
