Isaiah 58: 11

Isaiah 58:11

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

The Clubhouse

Next to our housing complex we have a Clubhouse.  All residents have free use of the facilities.  There is a restaurant, a Games Room (pool table, foosball, air hockey), a Fitness Centre (with treadmills, weights, etc), Table Tennis, basketball and tennis courts, sauna and steam rooms, and an outdoor pool.
We have spent several hours at the Clubhouse and have enjoyed a couple of delicious and inexpensive meals there also.  Mostly we go to the pool to hang out.  The pool water is cooled but the heat from the sun warms it significantly.  Surprisingly, when we get out of the water, our bodies feel cooler for about 15 minutes.  The poolside frozen lemon mint drinks also help to keep us comfortable.  These are a unique drink -- like a lemonade slushie with lots of fresh mint ground into it.

There are bridges connecting the Clubhouse to the the two Community Housing compounds.  It takes about 4 minutes for us to walk from our home to the Clubhouse. While it is so hot, that seems like enough outdoor exercise.

Good morning. Just catching up on your blog, then I wrote a fairly long post, couldn't find a way to send it. Got a new password, while leaving your spot at the bottom of the screen then poof, it was gone.

Your new digs look lovely. What is the dining room tabletop made of? Your clubhouse looks great and lots of things for everyone to do.

I would certainly mind that heat. Hopefully you will become accustomed to it, like you became accustomed to periodic times of no electricity to bake. Your family has moved from one extreme of economical surroundings to another. I do get the impression that the people of Kenya were a blessing to you, as I expect the people of Doha will become as well.

Carl and Freda were with us last night and they seem to be their ever chipper selves.

Love & blessings to all of you. Don & Brenda
