Start up

We left Alaska ten years ago to start our life overseas and we are now on our third country, second cat, and no kids left at home.  Time to start writing stuff down before all the memories run together.  Also, November is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I promised my daughter Allison that I would try to write again.

My husband Jerry moved to Doha, Qatar in January and I put 6 visitor stamps in my passport before finally moving here for good in September and getting my residence permit.  I now have drivers licenses for three countries--US (Alaska), the Netherlands, and now Qatar.  The real reason it took me so long to follow Jerry here was to get our youngest son, Craig, graduated from high school (The American School of The Hague) and then to settle all the kids into Texas A&M University.  Allison is there for grad school, Monica is a Senior taking a semester off to work with the Disney College Program in Florida, and Craig is a freshman.

Now I just have to figure out how to fill my days in the sun over here.
