Bill made it home last night around 17:00. We waited for our call (from someone very special---Matt) and then we went to the Country Club for dinner. We always get the same thing to eat so tonight we both decided to eat something different but you know me at the last minute I reverted to one of my favorites!
This morning the sky really looks like RAIN---if fact I just noticed that is is raining! I love the rain. I just wish it rained more here. The only thing that I do not like about the rain here is the driving. People are so careless here but when it does rain they are worst because the don't seem to understand the oil on the road and water! I have to get out in a little while but I am sure that it will be finished raining before I go.
I wish Bill were off today ----Carlos Santana and Elton John are playing in Dubai and boy would I love to see both of them. They are at the same venue to it could be done. Bill would like Santana but I am not sure he would like Elton!
got to run
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...........

Today makes one year we have lived in Bahrain!
We arrived here last year from Singapore around 21:00.
We were going to celebrate tonight but again I am alone on the weekend.
This make three weekends in a row!!!!!!
We intended to make up for it next weekend----it will be our 33rd wedding anniversary.
We have been told about a Japanese restaurant near the Ritz that is supposed to be better than Sato's which we love. If it is better, we will be going there more often as the drive to Sato's is not always fun!
My "places" are still not looking too good but hopefully I will get out some tomorrow.
I am getting excited----baseball season is just around the corner. I have now kept up with my Astros like I did when I was in the USA but last year after we moved into the house we found baseball on the tv more so than we did in India. Guess I will have to learn the players as most of my favorites have retired.
Going to walk the compound in a few minutes but about stir crazy sitting in the house. Maybe I won't get to hot!
Cheers!

Guess you are wondering why I am posting so many times today (this is #4). I had some pre-cancerous spots on my body froze off last Thursday. I went to the doctor and he said about 4 or 5 places needed to be removed. I went the next day and and he froze 19 or 20 places. He said some of them were cosmetic and why not do them while he was freezing. The places are not pretty so I am staying in and being bored!
I did not win the hummer but now another store is giving away Lincoln Navigators. Cross your fingers!!!!
To all the chefs out there I have added a cook it widget on my blog. It is real neat! Simply type the ingredients you have on hand and it will give you recipes to try!!!!!

Formula One in Bahrain
Last week was the Formula One in Bahrain. Bill and I had a chance to meet some of the drivers!
Brendon in the lead!
Getting ready to race!
Bill and the drivers after the race!
By now you know I was joking but we enjoyed the Formula One race track for karts in November, 2009!
RUGS
I have fallen in love with carpets!!!!!!
When we were in Singapore we purchased some beautiful rugs. Bill was not real happy about the cost but he was the one saying "Buy it" "Buy IT!"
Well, one story I like to tell about rug shopping was when we were in Chennai, India. Bill and I went into a "department" store. We were looking at the carpets and saw a beautiful one on the wall. It was a 10x15 and had beautiful shades of blue and green with some pink and beige. The salesman noticed we liked it so he took it down and rolled it on the floor. He insisted that we walk on it. Of course me, I take my shoes off and start to walk on it. I take a couple of steps and Bill behind me starts saying----"GET OFF OF IT". I turn around and he has looked at the price----18,000 USD!!!!!
I immediately get off and the salesman says wait wait you can have for half off!!!!! I am sure if we had really wanted the rug we could have had it for another half off but at that time we were "new" carpet shoppers!!!!!!!
I have really gotten into the shopping now. I have a "favorite" rug store here. They recognise me and can remember all the rugs I have purchased and usually who they are for!!!! I took Ryan and Rachel there while they were here. When we walked in the door, Ryan spotted one of the wall that he liked! It was very pretty and was from Iran. It was a dome pattern---
Rachel got this one:
Now rug shopping has become even easier! There is a man that comes into the compound with rugs in his van. I like some of his rugs but I still really like my store.
Here is a couple that we have bought from him
Bill bought this one for Matt:
Bill bought this one for in front of a desk???????
Here is one I bought in the mall for Matt's room:
It is not a carpet but a fun rug for his room.

I am so bad about blogging! I thought that I would do it daily or even bi-weekly but lately it has been MONTHLY!!!!!
Where do I start----
Ryan and Rachel came for a week the end of February. One week is really not enough-you don't get over the jet lag until it is time to leave!
We had a great time and ate at some great places.
Trader Vic's-------food not great but atmosphere and drinks are wonderful!!!!!
The Country Club Brennigan's------the food and atmosphere is great! Not a good selection of cocktails!
While I am on Brennigan's Take a look at this
This is one of our fun nights at Brennigan's while Jessi and Bren were here!
This is the service window at Lanterns------This is the first place Bill and I ate when we arrived here in Bahrain. It is an Indian restaurant---just what we were in the mood for---NOT!
I made my first visit to The Gold City. It was interesting.
I have entered into a new relationship!!!!! Ha that is what the guy told us we are not his customers but we now have a relationship with him. He was a nice guy and Ryan did get some pretty cufflinks.
