Back in Lebanon and other news
11 Feb 2025 10:25 am Hello, fellow bloggers.
Poking my head out of Internet obscurity to say we have been back in Lebanon for a week, come midnight. Our last two months in France were chaotic, not only with the holidays and goodbyes, but because I was diagnosed with stage 3 (of 4) of osteoarthritis in my left knee. ( Health ramble, feel free to skip )
I got out my paints and finished the two paintings I had started before leaving last summer. Here is one of them:

Fishers on the Nile, watersoluble oils
On a brighter side, we came back to the storms and rain. I really love the crazy winter weather here, especially when there is lots of thunder and lightning. But it is nice when the sun shines, too, and you can get both in the same day. 😁

* He came back to get some work done on the house, like installing a new shower stall. Poor guy had no help from me because I was laid out on the couch. Thankfully, Farmer Boy was a huge help, and with Sprout chipping in, too, they were able to get it done.
**Things are calm here on the political and conflict fronts, so I am talking more about do the kids want to do activities, and if so, which ones, etc. etc.
