date dance

The guest house were we stayed.

Last weekend we visited our friends on the date farm. They had already been harvesting for a week or more and were happy for the helpful hands that visited that day as they have more dates than they can process.


Jay was in the lift before breakfast was served but changed jobs later in the morning when more friends arrived and took over the picking.


Then he worked with several other men on installing wire for the new solar system while I worked at cleaning and sorting dates with the women.


We were happy to hear during the late-afternoon watermelon break that the 19 trays of dates that had been picked and sorted that day was a record number.


After sharing a time worshiping together and a quick dip in the pool we headed home tired but happy.
