Two weeks closer to home

Well another couple of weeks have gone by and things are still quiet here. After almost no rain for the first four months in Afghanistan, it has been raining non-stop for the past couple of days. It has gotten colder here and is supposed to get down to single digits Fahrenheit this weekend. Things in Kabul are quiet although we are still kept busy by the bad guys in the rest of the country.
I am now down to almost five weeks here followed by more than two weeks to get home after that. It has been an interesting tour to say the least.
Christmas in Afghanistan is quite different. There are a couple of lights up around the base and we are hoping to have a quiet Christmas this week. I will be going on a trip to visit a Polish PRT (Provincial Reconstruction Team) in a couple of weeks and am looking forward to seeing more of the country and getting beyond the walls here for a few days.
Nothing more to say now, I will try to blog again on Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Jason! Liz came over and helped me get a new password set up so I can respond once again to your blog. I guess Christmas is celebrated differently everywhere in the world. It doesn't seem like St. George has as many lights as in previous years -- but what's here are beautiful.
Stay safe and we'll look forward to hearing from you on Christmas.. Love You! Mom
