Its been a while since I updated last, nearly two months. Unfortunately, after being here just over 4 months, I had to return to Canada because my father was terminally ill. I stayed in Canada a month, then returned to Dubai. I’ve been home about a month, and we are just starting to feel normal again after what was a terribly emotional and heartbreaking time.
I’m cheating a bit – I’m going to create a few new posts today and back date them to the day they actually happened. This will include a post about “Alice’s Birthday at Wild Wadi’s“, “Ice Skating at the Dubai Mall“, “The beach again!“, and “Last time at the Beach for us!“. So, if you have any interest don’t hesitate to scroll back and take a peek.
As for today, we joined a library called “The Old Library”. I am happy I went in forewarned not to expect too much because compared to even a small town library in Canada this library is tiny, I’d say it has less than 1/25th of the books for children that the central branch of the LPL. Still, we have only a dozen picture books here and that is not enough to foster a love of reading so we signed up, paid for our membership and went off to the races. Elaine picked out one hefty novel and Alice got an assortment of picture books. We are still on a quest to find books for Alice’s literacy class!
