It's been a busy day here in Cairo for me. I started out the day great with a walk run on the track for about an hour then got a call from A gal from church ( who is from the Philippines), that has been looking for a job for over a month. NO luck. She has been living with a room mate also from the Philippines and has not…

Sandy asked how it is here. I think about 95 F. I took a walk this morning to go and pay my internet bill and also to buy a new phone card and it was quite a hot walk but I still enjoyed being outside. Can't wait until 5:00 am in the morning so I can go for a swim. My parents both have or had Type 2 Diabetes and it is a…

Hi From Hot Cairo. The temp went up 20 degrees from yesterday. My early morning swim was beautiful though. Tonight we are invited to my nieces birthday party. It will be all family there. She is in college but that is how we Egyptians do it. Families celebrate together not so much with friends! She has all kinds of game…

It's been nice to read about the history of the group and how it started. Thanks for sharing. I'll add my stamp of approval as well as appreciation to all of you who have been so good to me even thought I come and go. That's the story of my life. Never quite know what will happen next. Or where I'll be. Have a great c day.…

Good morning, I forgot to mention that my little grand daughter with the tooth missing, ( I'm sure you noticed) is only 2 and a half. About 2 months ago she climbed up on a table at the nursery school and fell off bumping her mouth on a chair, which knocked out her tooth on the spot!! It ripped her little lip a bit but she…

Hello. Everyone, I am back again. I went to Abu Dhabi to be with my daughter while she had the 2nd baby and got to stay a month with her. It was wonderful to be there to help out with the 2 year old and the baby. The most exciting part was I go to be in the delivery room with her because her husband was called out of town…

I'd like to join this group if you all don't mind. I'm back from Abu Dhabi and unfortunately I have put on like 10 extra pounds onto the 20 I already wanted to lose!! Retirement is great but I notice that I am not as active as I was before. I think this commitment will assist me in getting back to where I want to be. What…

Hi Everyone. I don't know about the rest of you but I find this format really confusing. I can't seem to find all the posts that everyone has written. Just the last couple of them. Anyway. I will write a little and then push send. I am waiting for the little girl I tutor to arrive. She comes every day of the week except on…

Hello and it is another grand day in Cairo. Went for a hour swim this morning at 5:00 am and it was wonderful really. Makes me happy to start off the day with a swim. Came home and chatted ( Texted ) with my daughter and we are both getting more excited by the day to see each other. I am not sure she is looking too forward…

Back in Cairo now and enjoyed a long walk this morning to visit a friend and then she walked with me for a while and then I came on home. I am…

It was a great lunch.BRought back childhood memories. Then I used the rest of the spinach to make stuffed Cannelloni's for dinner. They are in the oven baking…

Good Morning from COLD Cairo. A few days ago it was in the 40's and I called my son in Seattle and he said it was the same temp there. It has been an extremely COLD winter for us. We usually get a couple weeks of cool weather but this year it is freezing. FOR US IT FEELS LIKE FREEEZING because we have NO indoor heating. I…

I'm sure that you have all thought I have disappeared off the face of the earth. BUT Actually I have just been enjoying being retired so long that I hardly stopped by to do any communicating with my Fitness pals. It has been nice just being in charge of me and trying to figure out how to use my time each day and be…

Hi Everyone: and Welcome Anne! Nice to have you with us. I had a nice relaxing time at the resort. I could have stayed on a few more days. We had plenty of food with us to last a few more meals but my husband was anxious to get back home. We bought a huge villa outside of Cairo in a new area that is growing so fast. We…

I am not sure about the new set up on MFP? I get used to the old way and it is hard to make the change. We are heading off to our beach resort in a few minutes. Decided to just get out of the polluted air of Cairo and enjoy some fresh air for a few days. I was sick all day yesterday and feel a bit weak this morning but I…

Well we got the church all decorated and it looks like stepping into Bethlehem.. ( WELL ALMOST) but I think everyone will get the idea. It was fun to create this scene and I can't wait to see everyone all dressed up in gallabeyas and enjoying the activities that we have planned. My husband is gong to come along and my son…

Dec 11th already. The month has been busy for me. I thought once I stopped working I would have time to check in more often but seems like I was wrong about that. I am helping plan and do all the preparations for a church Christmas party and that has taken up a huge chunk of time. We are doing a bath to Bethlehem theme so…

The host has planned all kinds of games and fun so not only will we eat but will have fun playing together. I think about 40 people are coming. Can't wait. Barbie the knitted hat is…
