Hey

So, how are you guys? It's been another blog break over here.....and I realized I haven't even pick up my camera in over a month! Terrible. It has been hot hot here though with temps usually around 105-110 degrees and honestly not alot of outdoor time (and picture snapping) save late afternoons at the pool and the park in the evening. I can't even imagine what the heat is going to be like in a few more weeks.

This weekend, starting today, we are....

--celebrating Michael's birthday
--heading to the beach in Ajman tomorrow morning
--lounging and reading while sunbathing
--eating at our favorite Indian Restaurant, Marsala Craft, on the Al Quasba Canal
--going to the Central Souq in Sharjah
--returning to Al Ain and going for a stroll in the Al Ain Oasis and take some beauty shots of the date palms as the dates are starting to grow plentifully. I'm already thinking how much I am going to miss eating the delicious fresh dates here.

I'm reading a really good book right now - Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout. The book contains thirteen connected stories -- I loved short stories. What are you reading now? Do you have any short story collections to recommend?

Have a great weekend! xx
