Last Saturday our good friends came over to visit from Ohio.
The visit had many purposes. The most important being fellowship; followed by an introduction to Naomi, and a crash course in all things Egypt.

Jay and Emily once went on a mission trip to Egypt to help a church build a ropes course, modeled after the one at our church.
Thankfully the Lord brought this fact to my attention when Asher recently mentioned that he still didn’t understand how large the pyramids were. (FYI—they are much taller than Jay and Emily!)
We learned how to make pita bread.
From the littlest . . .
(Smiley looking oh-so-serious.)
But I personally, like how Ben rolls out his pita dough . . .
He and I get along quite well.
To the oldest . . .
and they were quite delicious . . . though not very round.
I don’t know that I could ever go back to a store bought pita . . . now if only I could find the recipe Emily gave me.
The pita bread was accompanied by homemade hummus, mandarin oranges, cucumbers and tomatoes, and fava beans.
She added a few choice spices . . .
It’s nice to have this lesson in our Hideaways In History completed. Thanks Jay and Emily! It was sooooooo good to see you!
I wonder where we will travel to next?
