Qatar Part 5- Reflection | Veenstra 'Ventures
https://veenstraventures.wordpress.com/2012/06/04/qatar-part-5
This is Just the Beginning →. Qatar Part 5- Reflection. June 4, 2012. In my second Qatar post. From my perspective Qatar has the same relationship with change. It is in the throws of incredible change; everything is in a state of transition and change in Qatar, from architecture, to education, to business to culture. There seems to be no stone in Qatar that hasn’t been touched. Everyone seems to be loving all this change and the country feels alive! What does it mean? What are the social classes? Thank y...

Qatar Part 5- Reflection. Oh Those Were the Days →. This is Just the Beginning. June 17, 2012. After one month on location, I would like to introduce you to our lastest adventure, Gracefield Christian Camp and Retreat Centre. The adventure has just begun and I know I will have many more stories when staff and kids start to arrive (starting June 29). But until then, I will leave you with a walking tour of the property and some other pictures of our adventure. One of Leanne’s favourite spots. Before: Beave...

This is Just the Beginning. A Person Unknown →. Oh Those Were the Days. July 15, 2012. Looking at the pictures of my last post. I sigh, “those were the days.” The days of canoe trips, jumping off the dock, rockin’ the “Veen Scene” and having the run of a 330 acres of Quebec wilderness. At the time those moments seemed overwhelming but looking back they feel like a walk in the park. Summer Camp has started and this is a completely different animal. A real beaver did this!

Qatar Part 4 | Veenstra 'Ventures
https://veenstraventures.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/qatar-part-4
Qatar Part 5- Reflection →. May 1, 2012. There are few things that I enjoy more than sitting around a fine beverage with a good friend and talking for hours on end. But watching live music while with a friend takes the cake. In Doha I got it all! From the moment I stepped off the plane, Kathy was soo excited to show me her favourite place in Doha. I’m sure if I agreed, we would have gone that night but for the sake of my delirium, we waited. On day two, we went! 4 thoughts on “ Qatar Part 4. I love the p...

Livin' the vida Doha. 2004-May 2006: Japan postings. May 2006-August 2011: Canada postings. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. It's just about time for some trick-or-treating! It's just about Halloween, and we're getting ready to do our Qatar-tradition of crashing one of my college's compounds (full of Canadian families) for some good old-fashioned trick or treating. I love that her witches are mathematically-inclined). This one comes with a story. a story that deserves interpretation. "Once there was ...Ahhhh...

Epps in Qatar: Seven!

Livin' the vida Doha. 2004-May 2006: Japan postings. May 2006-August 2011: Canada postings. Saturday, January 17, 2015. Birthday bike. 6:30am. I am thankful today. And then your first turns seven, and there's been enough years now that you can look back on them and see the growth and the changes, and you realize, "Hey, maybe we're doing okay.". Your knock-knock jokes are a work in progress, but I will never forget the first time you truly "got" a joke. Do you remember? But this year we've also seen a new...

Epps in Qatar: Bratislava (Part 1 of our trip)

Livin' the vida Doha. 2004-May 2006: Japan postings. May 2006-August 2011: Canada postings. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Bratislava (Part 1 of our trip). An overview of the city, taken from the castle. Michael's Gate, The Old Town. And the beer. the Slovak beer very clearly spoke my name. Jeff had a special fondness for the street cars. Quiet morning on Obchodna, standing near the entrance to our apartment, with Michael's Gate in the distance. Obchodna at night. Shops and restaurants galore! Obchodna is a ...

Epps in Qatar: February 2014

Livin' the vida Doha. 2004-May 2006: Japan postings. May 2006-August 2011: Canada postings. Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Friday Outing: 2nd Chance Rescue. And I gently eased into the enjoyment of simply living life. Jeff and I don't work at schools in Qatar. We just work at schools. Schools that have their ups and downs and that carry the same stresses of schools around the world. Kaiya no longer attends an international school in Qatar. Stops with Izzy though. She most definitely was born in Qatar. 2nd C...

Epps in Qatar: January 2015

Livin' the vida Doha. 2004-May 2006: Japan postings. May 2006-August 2011: Canada postings. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Somebody has turned TWO! You are my tough and persistent one. You're not afraid of the big kids. Sometimes I think you believe you are one of the big kids. I've watched you navigate a playground full of rough, screaming children, and you remain completely unfazed. You watch . and then push right past, not about to be deterred or left behind. You stand your own. Birthday bike. 6:30am.
