The New Villa!

Our new villa or the rectanglar cement house! This is larger than our other villa. It is 4 bedrooms, one study/computer room, 4 1/2 baths, larger kitchen, laundry room, living room and dining room with a backyard. The small backyard is a big deal here not many have much more than a brick porch. We have grass and it goes all the way around the house to the other sliding glass door by the dining room.

The front door, I miss my porch and glass door from Riviera Gardens but I especially miss my Kingwood house with the beautiful front door, porch with two white columns but this what we all have and I am no exception so it will have to do.

The driveway and my Pajero. I do love the pink flowers.

The backyard view looking out the living room sliding glass door. We will now have a play area for our grandchildren to visit us! Hooray!

The backyard view from side gate by front door. Now you have seen it come on ya'll and visit us!

Doha Days and Trying to Get New Appliances!

Most of you know that we moved into another compound called Al Jazi and a new villa. Well, three of the appliances are really old and needed to be replaced. I received authorization to go pick them out but needed to contact a gentlemen to make sure the brand was what the compound will accept and can maintain. Now, trying to find out where the showroom is located was like an act of congress. Next, I could never get a hold of this man on the phone so I decided to just go there. Over here just going there usually is the best thing anyway. I arrive, no parking of course. Finally park on the street ready to be hit from oncoming cars at any moment. I go into the showroom ask for this man. He is in meetings, Madam. Can we help you? I tell them..no they can't help me they have no clue. He cannot speak with you until tomorrow evening, the clerk says. I decide to look at the appliances just to get a feel for what I can get when I have to go back again. First of all, stoves....they had ONE electric stove. Only one brand and style , and I have to get it approved. There is no other option to get! Next, the washer and dryer...two brands two styles. All pretty much cost the same. So I am wondering what there is to approve here. I leave. Upon arrival home I have a message on my phone that this man is calling me back! Apparently he was calling me back the same time I am in the store when they said he can't talk to me! Now, I have an appointment. Further updates will be available when the actual event is done. In the meantime, pray that I can wash a few more loads of clothes before I have nothing!
