Long Time, No Write or Read

U

      Well a lot of water has gone under the damn, since I last blogged. Whatever that expression means, not quite sure.
      We have a new Grandson, Ryan Langley Dumler. He was born on March 24th at 3:35 am. He came in at 8.74 oz. two sweet boys for John and Amber!
     January 13 th, 2015, Emily, Jeff, Jack  and Elliot moved back to the U.S. From Dubai, UAE. I guess I should update their family. they moved to Dubai, in early 2013. Jeff was working as an instructor pilot for the UAE. They had a beautiful villa in an exclusive community near Motor City. Greg and I were fortunate to be able to fly over there in early April 2014, for Elli's birth. Elliot Grace Gelzinis came into this world on 04-14-2014. The whole hospital Maternity Ward. In Dubai is very much different that in the US. Outside the rooms are these elaborate floral/ balloon arrangements. that was the only real difference. Greg had to fly back to the U.S. A few days after Elli's birth. I was fortunate to be able to stay for 29 days. I had a really good time, I was able to drive to Spinney's in Motor City to do shopping.  I drove to the shopping area in Arabian Ranches too. After Emily started to feel better, we did some sight seeing. Went to Jumeirah beach, the a Country Club, where We saw Peter, from their church, playing Jazz. We drove by the Palm, and Atlantis, the Burg al Arab. We went to the Global Village, which was really cool! We went to the Dragon Mart, which was a collection of stores. The Malls were  really big and grand.  Sure glad that we got to go there and experience of going global!
     We also bought a condo at Ocean City, from Jeff's Grandmother, that April. It was a real fixer-upper, but we got it looking pretty good that season. We went to the beach every chance we got. It has been a great get away, but costly at the same time. We had to come up with $30000 for new doors and windows! We have had some water damage. But at the same time, it is a great get away. Love going there. Hopefully John, Amber and the kids, as well as Emily ! Jeff and their kids will get to enjoy it for years to come!
