I can't believe it..It is over a month since my last entry!!!!

Yes!!! Time Flies!!!
 
Life is never dull....
 
It was so cute to see the children...mostly Egyptian.. dressed up
 
for Halloween. Even at 3 years of age they enjoyed the
 
experience. Some were cats; some spiderman; some princess;
 
some Pharoh's ...etc
 
Halloween is not a custom here however being an American
 
school we celebrate it. We had a parade through the Elementary
 
part of the school. In the afternoon the children went to various
 
classes for activities and to several offices to "Trick or Treat".
 
Then a party and art work to take home.
 
No time for nap today!....I took some great photos.
 
 
My two sons Kevin & Winston came from Canada to visit. We
 
had a great time going to see the Museum; the Pyramids and
 
Sphinx at Giza and Step Pyramids at Seqqara. Lunch at the
 
Mena House... Dinner at Barry's...off to the Tailors to make
 
hand-made shirts.....Coptic Cairo... Khan Khalili...dinner at
 
Naguib Mahfouz....Silver shopping; Galabyea shopping...
 
Dinner at the Concorde Hotel...A Day trip to Alexandria...dinner
 
at a famous Fish place..... and "order in" dinner at my place.
 
 
Then Kevin & Winston were off on a Nile cruise. 
 
Safe return back to Canada.
 
I thanked the person who arranged the Cruise and said I
 
thought it was the highlight of their trip.  Kevin wrote back that
 
"seeing me was the highlight of their trip".!
 
Well, didn't my heart skip a beat !!!
 
 
Just a week ago I was given another assistant rather than a
 
helper which I needed.  It lightens the load.
 
I finished my report cards and this coming week is parent
 
interviews.  Photo day was yesterday.
 
I am in the second year of a two year contract and by December
 
1st ..I need to let the school know if I will return. We are going to
 
learn about incentives to encourage us to stay!
 
Only 40 more days and I will be home for Christmas so I am
 
already making plans.
 
Well, I am enjoying my weekend of extra rest..bubble bath and
 
relaxing.  Sending hugs your way!
