Sandstorm
The sandstorm in Doha continued for the second day. It was really weird. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Sand got everywhere. in my hair, in my nose ... in my sandals ... it even managed to get inside our apartment which is on the third floor!
Meanwhile, last night I played a host for almost the first time since we got married. Maria and Mahmoud (a Jordanian couple we know from Amman) came to visit us. I enjoyed being the “housewife,” serving them beverage and sweets. They also got us a nice housewarming present: A frame and a candle holder.
Earlier that day I met my Lebanese friend Amal for lunch at Applebee's. She just came back from a month's vacation in Lebanon. We had a lot to talk about, especially office gossip. She also got me nice gifts from Lebanon: Nora Jones lastest CD “Feels like home” and an inlaid wooden box with inlaid coasters.
Back at the Tynes residence, Jeff and I are doing lots of thinking and talking … We spent last night just discussing our next step ...we are working on some plans ... big plans!
