We had asked the Lewis family to come to the club together today...they said yes...then rethought it and decided that we should all go to Al Ahlzar Park. It is on a hill across from the Citadel which also holds Muhammad Ali Mosque. It was lush here and really calm and beautiful. We had a wonderful picnic lunch together and just....enjoyed friendship!! We left at 11:20 and got home at 4:30 - it was marvelous! The weather is still holding at low 70's but the wind has kicked up a bit more today so my sinuses are really funky tonight :-(

Everyone's showered, kids are about to fall asleep for the night, so I put on a Veggie Tale's movie while I post photos...and make us something for supper.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, FRIENDS!!!!!!!!! Mother's Day in Egypt!!! :-)

I love you women for showing me how to be a better mother, for loving those who are not even your children, for loving me! xoxoxoxoxox Happy Mother's Day!

Melanie D - I took a pic JUST for you! It's 2 pics actually....a tree and the label below it.....I felt like givin you a big ole hug...instead...I took these for you! It'll become obvious as you scroll thru!! Joshua's working on a letter for Gage this week - shhh..don't tell him! no idea WHEN I'll get to the post office again!







you can see there's a big playground in one area...after about 45 min, our kids were sick of Egyptians wanting to touch their skin or have photos taken together..so we moved on ;)







the fancy ceiling/water pool, etc is all part of a VERY nice restaurant. The park is .... well park is an understatement really ;) I'm up high enough for you to see the smog even across the city.






I think like 5 more pics you see this....such extreme poverty..but they have to have satellite tv - yeesh!?! priorities! These are the people who sometimes beg me, who doesn't have tv - for money - goodness! I'm picky about who I give to ;) Sorry to sound like a snob - lol.






a shot from the back of the restaurant......John said I should say HEY HERE'S A PHOTO OF OUR HOME FINALLY! ha ha ha!!
