Daily Notes 12-15-2006
Today was the company Christmas dinner (only they can’t officially call it that thanks to the NAACP) — company bought turkey and pork barbecue and the rest of us brought in veggies, casseroles, desserts and fruit. I ate way too much, but everything tasted wonderful! I made a fruit salad with mini-marshmallows, sour cream, tropical fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, chopped pecans and put coconut on top.
I never realised there were so many people who didn’t like coconut. Wierd. One lady said it was like eating sticks….I never tasted a stick that tasted like coconut, but I guess everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I only put it on top, so they could scrape it off if they didn’t want it.
Company passed out Christmas cards with a $50 Walmart gift card in it (traditional gift), so now I can go to Walmart tomorrow and buy Ken’s Christmas present — just joking 😆
I found it interesting that no one signed it this year. Last year’s had 3 signatures on it. Sign of the times?? 😕
Well, time to get back to work……
Love to all,
Margaret

I thought the ACLU was the Grinch! Didn’t realize the NAACP was getting involved in the anti-Christmas crusade. Well, I counting down the hours now. I’ll be at the airport by the time you get off work today.
Weather here has sucked this weekend. There was so much rain (and no where for it to go) they cancelled work Sunday and today. Water outside the gate was over six inches deep and upto my ankles in the parking lot. My friend tells me the drain on his roof clogged and water poured into his kitchen through some cracks in the concrete. His entire first floor is soaked. Nothing like that at my place thank goodness!
I’ll give everyone a call when I touch down.
Love,
Eddie
Check this for some idea of the rain problems this desert country is having:

The Bahrainis did do an excellent job of putting up lights, flags, and photos of the royal family for National Day. Manama at night was gorgeous.
