Spring in Jordan*M *raq

Beautiful spring day here in Mafraq, the desert, Jordan.  Did some laundry in a bucket and hung it on the line...it was dry in no time at all.  Fridays are our Saturdays here in Jordan...people go out and enjoy picnics ***  rehlas *** everywhere ~ on the rocky sandy sides of roads...on hillsides.  My American friends called me and picked me up about 4 - they brought fried chicken and we drove out to a hillside a little outside of  the city - ate the food, drank soda.  Watched the big full moon rise over the countryside, and the sunset.  We could see these mountains in the distance and are pretty sure we could see Syria.
 These good friends are named Ken and Marianne.  They have been such kind and warm friends to me in the 2 short months I have known them. They are here for a short term, 6 months doing some other work here not PC - but their 6 months is up and they are returning to the USA this week for reunion with their family.  Hooray for them :( for me!!!

Going on one last adventure with them tomorrow to a place in Jordan called Pella...will post some pix after I get them.


That is it...quiet here in Jordan...nothing adverse happening here.  When you hear news reports back home about the middle east Don't Worry - be Happy!  Not in Jordan!!!

Families - friends -be happy - value the time you have together.
If you are near a family member - if they are close by...please go give them a hug.

Send me one and send me an e-mail as well. 
P L E A S E :)
I value them so much!  Love to you all.
