Well, more of a week wrap-up. We had a wonderful/busy/strange week, although at times overshadowed by the tragedies that seemed to keep occurring around the country – from the Boston bombings, to the explosion at the fertilizer plant in Texas. A hard week for America, and Americans – especially, of course, any person who was …

Spring has arrived in DC! We had a beautiful week of warm (even hot!) weather. We opened all our windows to let the fresh air in – and the kitties were especially happy about this! This week was very busy with work so I did not have time to blog, but lots went on! We …

Sunset on the Corniche. Things have been busy as usual in Qatar – and now I have seemed to pick up a cold, just as the temperature is creeping up! But, I’m trying to enjoy my last week here as much as possible. This past weekend we tried to go back out to the Sand …
