Billy & Rosie Have Arrived












Since Billy and Rosie got here two nights ago (I can't say how happy this makes me to have us all under one grand roof again), we've been to the Choral Beach Resort Club in Sharjah and the Gold Souk & Textile Souk in Dubai.

Expats living in Sharjah join the beach clubs at waterfront hotels, where bikinis are de rigeur, and you don't need to worry about funny looks from the mostly local male bathers at the public beaches.

The Dubai Souks are grand bazaars where hundreds of stallkeepers maintain tiny store fronts to sell their wares.

Enjoy the pictures, and I'll send along more details at a later point. Working by day and getting to know the area by night is seriously tiring..

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, Dear Brady, Happy Birthday to you!!! Have fun on your Bday!!!
Glad to hear everyone is together again!! Billy looks great! All he needs is one of those white outfits (not sure what they are called) and if he stands next to the man in the picture - they could be bookends! Just kidding. I love looking at all of the pictures. The kids look like they are having a ball. Love, Connie
