My little excitement for the day

Sunset on the 7th day of my stay in Kuwait. What a way to end my day. Love to All my girls. I hope you are having fun and doing good.




Today there was a little excitement across the street. Seems someone wanted to put down some black asphalt in the lot across the street but the Harish(houseboy- the person who takes care of everything to do with the house) did want it there. So he was yelling and making hand gestures at the guy in the truck and the next thing you knew they were both on their phones. He is the guy in the pics watching closely what they are doing. The dump truck guy finally unloaded his stuff and another guy came over to level it out. Do you know that that little man made the guy get all the black stuff off of what I guess was the property of the house. SHESH all over a little black stuff. The whole yard is full of trash and building materials the black stuff would have made it look better. All in a day in Paradise.




This is my view as I sit at the computer and type out my blog. It is a not finished house across the street. We do not know if it will be a family compound or will be rented to westerners. It seems more like a family compound which is like the one next door to it. All the relatives live in different apartments on second and third floor while main family probably mom and dad live on main floor.
Hello Barb, I do hope dad is fine. I send him all my love and kisses and hope to talk to you soon. Take care Dad and please feel better. Kimmi

SHE MADE A FORT

Do you ever wonder what you do with boxes that are just sitting around? Well Ash made herself a fort. These are the boxes I mail to Michael with his care Package stuff. He keeps the boxes so he can mail stuff back when the time comes. She made a peep hole so she could watch her TV she is so good.



She had no escape route as she had to call Opa or me. I told her she needed a doorway but alas what do I know. I built many of these as a child.LOL I will post more pics later but this connection keeps going away so I will let it rest. Love to all of my girls and Aunt Linny I do hope you are being good and enjoying my blog.

Sunrise on Sunday

These are just a few more snapshots of us during the day. As the sun was going down Ash and I went out on the balcony and sat for awhile. Unknown to us Michael came out of a window and snapped the picture. The next one is of Ash goofing off as usual. She is just so cute and ya can not help but love her. The picture to the left was sunrise this morning. A little clearer than the last one I took but still a little dusty. Oh well what do you expect in sandstorm season. That is all for today see you tomorrow same place same station. Over and out.

Are we having fun Yet?

This is me sitting at new table probably updating blog. I love the new set at least now I do not have to do it sitting in the bed with a box under the computer so it will not overheat. Also, the Quilt on Michaels couch is one I made and I think it looks rather nice draped over the back. I now have to make one for the matching one on the other side of the room. I am sure I will find something for it.

There are 2 pictures of my Pepsi bottles and Sprite that we drink over here one pic is in English and the other one is in Arabic. It tastes the same so I am happy. So do hope you enjoy Love to All from Kuwait.

Snapshots of life in Kuwait

These are just a few shots of around Michaels place. As you can see the trash just piles everywhere and most of it is construction trash as they are building house after house around here. Most of the houses almost touch each other and that is why in the back of the house on the patio off the master Michael had them put up a privacy screen as the next balcony was touching his and the patio door looked into his bedroom.
The picture with the yellow triangle is the electricity sub-station or something. They are at every other house. There is one across the street from Michael and then there is one right next door. So I just thought I would put these up and I do hope you like them.
To my 4 girls back home I wish you much love and a kiss to you all. I love you and Miss you so much.

Our New Furniture Has Arrived

This is the new furniture that we got yesterday at CentrePointe store. The new end tables and coffee table make the living room look really nice. The red color shows real well next to the brown couches.
The table and 4 stools look nice to. It is a nice place for computer work and eating. It is a nice addition to the room.

Shopping Part 2

The man with all the money got to push the cart full of goodies.






The above pictures are of our shopping trip. We went to the Al-kout Mall and had some lunch at the food court. Ash had a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut and Michael and I had a philly cheese steaks and the fixings from a place called Kudu. The food was wonderful. We then went over to the Sultan center and did our grocery shopping. We shopped really well I watch the prices as they are outrageous for American food. So we got some little steaks, chicken breasts, and I bought 4 bottles of Pepsi. We spent 48 KD for all of our food. So in US money that was $180. Not bad for our first outing. Although he did buy Ashleigh a chair for her to sit in. Love to all my girls especially my baby Alyssa.
