More Rain today in Kuwait than all of last Year

It was pouring

Hail on the window


It rained here today and the streets flooded and it was a mess. We even saw hail which is something they do not see here often. It was a gully washer for about 20 minutes and you could watch it move in.

Sunrise over the Arabian Gulf

Today was better than yesterday and I got to see a sunrise. We did get our breakfast first today and then ate and waited for the sun to rise. It was beautiful and I think I got a few good shots of the sun rising. I go home in 5 days so I will not get to the beach again as Michael works everyday till I leave. I am glad we got up early to see it and Gods work is magnificent.

Another Sunrise

The sand and then rocks
This is low tide and that is what is under the water right off shore
A white bird sitting on the rocky shoreline


Today Michael and I got up early so we could see the sunrise as it is my last week-end here in Kuwait until July. But unfortunatly the dust made the sunrise not happen. We still took some pictures as the coast and water were pretty. We also witnessed some stupid kid get his SUV stuck in the sand. The more he tried to get out the deeper he went. The picture is above. So we called it a morning and went to McDonalds and got some breakfast and then went home.

Bernina Seminar 24-26 of March






Michael bought me a Bernina Aurora 440 QE and the KTAA quilt group was having a 3 day Seminar which I got to go to. I learned so much about the machine and how to use it. It was so much fun and I now know a lot more about this machine then I ever thought I would. I have done applique on it and made a 3 pouch wall hanging and a little bag. Above are just shots from the 3 day seminar.

My last Quilt Meeting with the KTAA











I have had a wonderful time meeting all these ladies. The work that they do which some you see above is amazing. I would never be able to do what they do. I am just happy to go to the meetings and see what they make. This was my last meeting before I go home and I will miss them.
