ReplyDeleteDave looks like a very interesting fellow. I would love to have talked to him about this experience. Were you there? Did you trust these Bedouins?
ReplyDeleteForgot to say that this is a lovely tribute to a husband that is sorely missed. I love, love, love the song "At Last". I had it played at my wedding reception.
ReplyDeleteMarsha, was and am blessed.
ReplyDeleteKathy, thanks for visiting.
Karen, I tried.
Mildred, it was a hard day but God got me thru.
Karen, thank you.
Gail, he was and he did, thank you.
Lisa, thank you.
Sparky, I do too...every day!
LindaSue, bet they're having some good times, really good times.
Sara, thank you.
Val, thank you.
MK, at least 2 -grin-.
Lea, thank you.
Vicki, you blessed us with that week in Florida; we had such a sweet time.
Ginny, would if I could -grin-.
Charlsey, thank you for visiting and commenting.
Debbie, thank you and I tried to remember to deep breath all day.
Charlotte, I took the photo and yes, we did trust the Bedouins. It was a tourism trip and like I told one of the young men, "hurting tourists is bad for business." Braheim's mother was concerned because her son was spending the weekend with Americans. It was so funny! Perhaps I should blog about that, eh?
That's so cool about At Last at your wedding. Etta James sings it so greatly.
Ah sweet Sandra ... what a wonderful Dave you had.
ReplyDeleteFondly,
Glenda
My goodness - what was he doing there? The Bedouin are an interesting people to me.
ReplyDeleteGlenda, he was a wonderful Dave!
ReplyDeleteLisa, we were vacationing in Marrakesh and spent a few days camping in the Sahara Desert.
