HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIVERS!!!!!!!

Bill Sense of Humor!!!!!!

We have our 33rd Wedding Anniversary coming up Wednesday.  Gosh how time flies when you are having fun!!!
He sent the boys this email this morning after I purchased his gift last night:

Boys,

Do yall know what you get for an anniversary present when you have been married for 33 years?




     A Lot of Bull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are starting a cattle farm to have when we retire!!!! Thanks boys for all the help!


Cheers!

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!

Vacation 2010

Yipeee!!!!!!!!!

We are official!   Our vacation will be from 24 November until December 30!!!!!
This means Thanksgiving and Christmas at home this year!!!!
We won't be home for New Years but really am glad we get the two holidays we do!
I don't think I will feel like cooking but who knows!!!!!!!!

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!

Getting ready to race!

Brendon in the lead!

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!
