Got on a plane for what...

To see the grandkids! Why else would you fly 16 hours then have a 4 hour layover and fly another 3 1/2 hours ? Well to see my grandkids (their parents) and my family too. But are these not cute kids that anyone would fly all the way around the world to see! I think so.

The Qatar Masters Golf Tournament

This happened way back in February I am behind so be patient I am catching up. This is the annual Qatar Masters Golf Tournament. I really enjoy it for two reasons. First, I think the golf course is the prettiest place here in Doha. It's green and feels serene to me. Next, it is not that crowded so you can really get up close to players and watch all the spectators which come from many countries. As a result, I like to play a game and get pictures of some people without them knowing it. So here goes... The first two pictures are the beautiful course.


These next two pictures are players giving autographs.

The next two really got my attention. Look at the caddy with the long wild blonde hair. He is a Rod Stewart look alike!

This last one is my game. The guy in the polka dot pants cracked me up. Click on picture to get full affect of pants pattern. I could not get his companion but oh..I tried. Some people need style experts to dress them. LOL

Doha Day for Making A Movie!

Story here...one day when we lived in Riviera, in the famous "Pink Villa" I heard all this noise outside and went to investigate. Now the gardener and I tried to find out what but they would not talk to us, a worker and a woman!Ya right! I finally talked Steve into going out and they glady told him they were making a movie in the villa next door. It was about a family under crisis with the recession and had to move. We don't know if they were forced to move into Riviera or out of Riviera. Anyway, our good friends lived there and had just moved to the states. She had painted inside and had a great backyard area. Somehow they liked this villa and decided to make an Arabic Movie. It was crazy. They put huge lights in our yard going over the concrete wall because they shot the movie from 1:00 PM to 3:00 AM..no kidding! So at night it was like daylight in our living room. Anyway, enjoy!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Chatting about the script.

That is my white Pajero in the driveway. Those are the men that told Steve what was going on.

Happy Birthday America!

I could not think of anything better to post for America's birthday than to show off her artwork. Congrats and awesome job Liz!
