Waldo got to visit with W. (Cachi)


The end of our vacation was still great! Even though Waldo Had to get back and go back to work, I was able to spend a few days in El Paso with Jennifer and Gigi. It was so much fun to see them both, and do one of Gigi's favorite things--the El Paso Zoo!
















The minute I got back it was to begin my job at Dubai American Academy, as a teacher's aide for a 3rd grade class. It was fun!They were very energetic, and reminded me of Jordan and Alaina! I worked there for a month, and then Berlitz Language Center hired me as an English teacher. That's where I'm working now. I'm grateful I have the opportunity to use some of the skills I studied so hard to learn!











The other exciting thing that happened in September is the business trip Waldo made to Kuwait. He was able to meet with our son Waldo (Cachi). He is a captain in the army, stationed at the base in Kuwait. They were able to spend a wonderful few hours together.
(you can sure tell they're related!)


Our goal this Christmas is to spend it with him, if its at all possible. Think positive for us!


The weather is getting really beautiful (I'm actually wearing jeans and tennis shoes right now!)
We're getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, and we know we have so much to be thankful for, and then to decorate for Christmas!
Check back for more updates!

New Adventures and Opportunities

Hello again, after many months and new experiences! so much has happened since the last time I wrote I may have to split this up into a couple of entries!

We had a wonderful vacation, saw just about everyone we had planned to see, did just about everything we had planned to do and came back home just about as exhausted as we thought we would!
We travelled from Dubai to Seattle and the next day flew down to Simi Valley to see Waldo's family, and after enjoying their company for 4 days, flew back to Seattle so we could drive the RV to Salt Lake. There we met our newest grandson, Sammy.




















After staying with Rick and April for a few days, we headed south to Zion National Park, where we met Marci and Mike and their kids, and enjoyed our time with them. The park was wonderful, and even though we couldn't have a campfire, the pool was awesome!












This is our step-granddaughter Sibhana and granddaughter Jordan enjoying one of the pools at the campsite, and us with the Emmett kids as we drove through Zion National Park. This was a great trip, just too short!








We had many more adventures, some of which I'll tell you about in our next posting!
