Idd lunch was awesome at my grandmother's house. Maybe they were hundred people aunties, uncles,cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and neighbors . We had my grandmother's famous lamb biriyani though she does not cook anymore she supervises the cooks, she is in the kitchen from 6 am. We admire her ,mashalla a lady in the nineties sitting in the kitchen for hours even ;the younger women could not do it.
The children played games and were given gifts and adults were chatting and laughing. It was a wonderful day that we all look forward to every Idd. Sara and myself decided not to join the others for dinner as we were kind of tired and just wanted to lay back and rest.We had family lunch at my parents house on the second day but there were less people, my mother catered the food outside she did not want to bother herself in Idd. We planned to go out for dinner with Shemsa and her husband, Rana and her husband and two other cousins. It was a lovely evening everybody was in a good mood. My beautiful wife looked gorgeous as usual I could not stop looking at her. When she was in a good mood her good vibes are infectious.
We decided to take the children to Ferari World in Abu Dhabi the next day and i decided to spend the night with my family at Emirates Palace hotel. We drove to Abu Dhabi about noon and went straight to Ferari World,Yas Island.The older children had a blast in the evening we had dinner at Yas Hotel and viwed the famous Formula One track.Later the others returned to Dubai and we proceeded to Emirates Palace hotel. It was Sara 's first time to see the hotel and she was overwhelmed by the grander and splendor of the hotel. We checked in and went straight to our room. The rooms were beautiful too, jacuzzi in the bathroom best place to relax, private beach and beautiful gardens.
Next say i went swimming with my lovely daughter at the adventure pool with water falls and she had on a pink stripped Ralph Raulen swimming suit. She looked so cute , and she loved the water. Sara went to the Spa for a massage and to pamper herself. Later we drove around to see the new developments of Abu Dhabi ,went to Reem Island drove around to Sabornne University and admired the new high rising buildings. There is a lot of construction still going on but once it is finished the island will be beautiful . We drove to Mina Zayed to the new Sheikh Khalifa Highway to Sadiyat Island .We stopped at the Sadiyat Beach Golf Club to have drinks and went to the show houses and St Regis .
We drove back to Dubai in a good mood.We had plans to buy a four bedroomed villa in Barsha and were waiting for a bank loan approval. I explained to Sara that our finances will be tight and she will have to learn to live on a lower budget. She promised to cut down on unnecessary expenditure and fully supported the idea of buying our house.She even said that she will furnish it gradually.I was very happy that she was very understanding and we drove home discussing our house to be and whether to have one room as a gym or a library.
That night Tamara developed high temperature so both of us hardly had any sleep. We slept in late only to be awoken by cries and screams of Rana , for a second I thought my friend Rasheed died of a heart attack, had I not warned him to take it easy. Poor guy was taking ginseng and royal honey to keep up with his young wife. I sighed with relief when she screamed that he divorced her and went back to Noha. What goes around comes around , Noha prayers were answered maybe those trips to Bahla worked.
