Monday, January 18, 2010. One of the things I enjoy doing is serving at the Baby Wash Clinic. The Baby Wash Clinic is located in Giza, near the famous pyramids. It is an interesting ride from Maadi to Giza! When a new mother brings her baby to the Baby Wash Clinic, she has either heard about it from a friend or has been referred by the Dr. They bring their baby four times. We weigh the babies, wash them from head to toe, give them a physical examination and lots of love and attention! And third, Maadi be...

Sunday, June 5, 2011. This IS the year of adventure, right? Back in December, Sam and I and friends, Clayton and Julie Williams, declared this would be the Year of Adventure. This certainly has been a WEEK of adventure for me! It began with a beautiful drive through the Arkansas hills to Fiddler’s Bend near Kansas, OK to see my friend, Connie Ellison and culminated with the beautiful wedding of my niece! Fiddler's Bend on the Illinois River. Nothing could prepare us for what ensued! The butterflies were ...

Sam & Kim: December 2009

Tuesday, December 22, 2009. At Maadi Community Church we worship under a big tent with fans in the summer-time and now in the winter we have quilted “tent makers cloth” drapes attached to the sides to keep us warm. (yes, it does get cold here). These cloths are very colorful-reds, greens and blues in distinctive arabian designs! 8221; and I lost my focus. My mind wanders to babies. While Megan was pregnant with her second child, Sheyenne discovered she also is pregnant! Sheyenne is due April 16th! We don...

Monday, March 19, 2012. International Festival, Cairo American School. Sam and I had a fun day Saturday. We discovered that the hydrangeas have hit town and as our outdoor space is mostly shade, I couldn't wait to buy a couple to brighten the tropicals already in our garden. Right now the flowers are b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l! The weather is still cool so everything is looking at its peak! Some of the flower shops along the railroad track would give Under the Sun in Tulsa, Ok a run for their money! Beautiful Ara...

Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Sheyenne and Sean left yesterday after 10 days of non-stop sightseeing, shopping, eating great Egyptian food, and playing games in the evening. I knew coming home to an empty house would be difficult. It was. So, to bust the blues I decided to plan a few things this week. Today is Tuesday.hair cut day! So, I called a place where my friend, Julie, got a great haircut.and they speak English. It was all so strange. I did not think I looked THAT bad when I went in, and I don't thin...

Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Tuesday, Februrary 9th was a busy day; I attended the ladies Bible study that morning. We have been studying Esther with Beth Moore, and she had really challenged me two weeks prior with her comments about overcoming fear. This lesson was where Esther prepared not one banquet, but two for her king-husband and Haman. Haman was planning the demise of Esther's uncle, Mordecai, unbeknownst to all of them! Wasn't that a wonderful lesson? What did you get out of it? When Sam called ...

Tuesday, January 24, 2012. My good intentions of blogging at least once a week have been just that: good intentions. I have no excuses. I will continue to strive to do better. This is citrus season in Cairo. We are getting loads of fresh oranges and grapefruits. This is one of my favorite sights! A donkey cart covered with grasses, loaded with oranges, many with the stems still attached! They smell so good! I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Egypt grows blood oranges!

Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Update to the Trip to Holland. Remember we went to Holland and saw the beautiful Kuykenhoff Bulb Gardens? Here is a photo of the Giant Amaryllis I brought home! Some Things Get Lost in Translation! I hope you get a chuckle out of this one! We live in a multi-cultural city, where lots of things get translated from arabic to English. Sometimes this makes our lives easier.and sometimes it just makes us wonder. Summertime in Cairo is not-so-bad! For those of you who are flower lovers...

Sunday, August 22, 2010. Summer Fun: Survivor on Funniest Home Videos. We enjoyed a great breakfast of cherry and strawberry waffles (two different orders! Eggs and bacon and coffee. We were poppin' full when we left and eager to get home to our next project. That would be sewing for Sheyenne and me and playing b-ball for Sean. Sheyenne's response, "you've got to be kidding me", and Sean's, "look at all those kids in our yard! I have never seen them before! Got me to laughing! The sight was hysterical!
