yes, I have a stack of pictures to put up. But to get them all from Gaby's computer is a hasstle... So I'll put up a couple from the other night that are still on the camera. I cooked a practice turkey from a Nigela Lawson recipe. Turned out pretty decently.
The other is of the tablecloth I just finished. It's for Christmas. Yay for Christmas.

Recently for the first time Gaby had three days off. It was completely last minute and it was due to the Muslim holiday. It was mandatory that all workers have it off. Adonis kindly bought us a night away at a hotel to thank us for taking care of him. The hotel was 3.5 hours away. Two hours past A.D. We had dinner in the Italian restaurant there.. which was called Zatoon and means olive in Arabic. Cannot say how different it is when you get to spend two days with your husband. It has been difficult only seeing him at night for a couple of hours after work. Six days a week of work is crazy.

  1. Great photos Jodie! Thanks heaps for writing! I love reading what you've written and what you've been up to.

    Having time away is always a good thing. I'm glad you got to spend some time with Gaby without having work and stuff to get in the way.

    Christmas... what will you do this year?

  2. Probably just staying at home here. Gaby couldnt find out if his requested holidays were approved in time to get airfares out of here. Everything now is triple what the pre November price. We were planning to go to Lebanon for a winter Christmas. Not sure when we are coming back yet. Trying to save up enough to come back atm.... then we both will need to find jobs.. and save for a family and house.. it's never ending.
