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.

Yesterday I went shopping not really looking for anything but found some Tyler candles so I bought some of them.  The store had a promotion if you spend at least 15BD then you could play a game to win prizes.  It was a match game.  I had one try and was not really interested but if you played you also got the chances on a new Hummer!!!!!  Well I won a vacuum cleaner!!   Now if I just can win the Hummer!

I changed the settings on my car to  US settings----meaning to read temperatures in F instead of C and Miles instead of kilometers.  Well, I have had my car ten months tomorrow and only have 3356 miles on it.  At home I would probably have that in 2 months.  It sure makes a difference that the stores are very close and I don't have to go far for almost everything.

I made corn and crab bisque from my Southern Palates.  I love that cookbook.  Mine is getting worn out.

Note to my family----my black dress did not disappear from the earth.  Please try to find it!!!!! Wherever it might be :)

It has been awhile since my last post but not much to blog about!  I have just doing my normal things.  Yesterday I went for a haircut and of course I was running late so I went through the village to get to the Ritz.  Well it was my first time to see tires actually burning in the road.  I have seen then after the fact with the police already there but this time is different.   I was already past the village and on a road that curves around and traffic came to a stand still --I was about five cars back but could not see the problem but could see there were bricks all in the road like a truck had lost some of it's load.  The road was too narrow to turn around and several cars were behind me  so I just waited.  I could see men getting out of cars and removing shovels from their trunks---again I think it is the bricks.  Traffic begins to move and when I round the curve I see several tires and a box or couch in the middle of the road and the men are trying to get it where we can pass-----ok done that don't need to do again.

I know that I have talked to some of you about the bathrooms here.  This is in the ladies bathroom at the Ritz------

Not only does it clean but the seats are heated!!!!!!
The first time I saw this I was with a friend and she heard me laughing and said don't even try it!!!!!
Too funny.

For Valentines Bill and I received this:

And yes he is his father's son!!!!!

They had another snow day in Mississippi  6 inches in Brookhaven-----guess the global warming thing is fixed! Here are a few of the pictures we received:

I am ready to go out but my Daddy is being slow!!!!

Not sure if I like it but I was sleepy by the time Daddy was ready!

I am ready and LOVE IT!!!!

Please let me back in the WARM house!!!

We Love it too!

Brendon must have been throwing snowballs at him but I am sure he LOVED IT!!!

Rachel was in DC and this is her picture.  They got 18 inches of snow.

SAINTS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worth getting up at 1:50 am to watch!

WHO DAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

WHO DAT SONG

Rachel sent this to me yesterday----Love it

Today is Super Bowl Sunday in the USA.  Bill and I are going to try to watch.  Being Saints fans for YEARS and this being their first time to go we have to try.  So as you guys are enjoying dips, wings and all the normal Super Bowl fare think of us watching eating breakfast casserole and orange juice!  I might have some cheese and ham but at 2:30 am -----don't think we want the normal things!
Geaux Saints!!!!!!!! 

Bill has made a decision!

He is going to quit smoking!  Matt is the reason.  What a wonderful reason to quit.  Remember him and let's encourage this!

Cheers!

Yesterday was the first sand storm of the year.  Hey we made it 26 days before we had one.   The wind was very strong and the skies were very dusty.
