Tales From the Wandering Wahabs

Happy Saturday!!

This morning I heard from Neilson. He is doing well. I should pass along that he can really only check his army email and he can't access the blog from his computer at work. Unfortunately the lines for the other computers are very long so I'll just pass along what he said to me.

He said it's very dusty but they are in a river valley so there are trees and bushes-- just no grass. And all that dust equals sand oogie boogies. Yuck! He will be switching rooms as soon the rest of his unit gets there. They are busy working every day. He goes in around 0800 and gets off about 12 hours later. No complaints about the dining facility. It's set up like a food court so if you don't like what they're serving you can get a salad, or sandwhich or something else. They also have every drink known to man available. Still no word on when he'll have a valid address. :P But don't worry I'll pass it out when I get one.

On a very positive note a 300 minute phone card was a 50 minute call home! So Grace and I are off to Target to snap up some more of those 600 minute cards that are on sale through today.

I got a lovely card from Uncle Herb yesterday. He had flowers at his church for Vera, Neilson and I. He even sent the church bulletin so I could see it noted. Thank you so much Herb for your kindness and prayers.

Well we are off to Target and maybe even the Pumpkin Patch today! Take care!

Blessings,

Heather
