Here There and Everywhere

Expat wanderer

Daily Odds and Ends

This cat was found as a kitten; he’d been hit by a car. The man who found him paid $1400 to get him well again. Now he had a home where he is happy, has special furniture just for him, and a life where he is treasured. His name is Lucky. He looks crabby, but he is a sweetheart:

Lucky lives next door to an Ethiopian Grocery store:

In an antique store, I found this unique display:

I’m crazy about old silver, and these pieces knocked my socks off. I am guessing it is old hotel silver – I didn’t ask.

I talked my military-wife-friend into going back to Tai-Ho’s and this time we tried their famous noodle soup with meat and chinese pickles. It is to die for!

Mom called as we were saying goodbye to say that if I was anywhere near the coast, there was going to be a fabulous sunset with magnificent clouds:

  3. Ethiopian Grocery store , what do they sell , we hear alot of the times of famine in Ethiopia so we think they dont have food stuff beside coffee , The Ethiopian trouble period is just starting here in kuwait with maids coming with fake medical records then when rechecked found they have Aids , witchcraft supplies discovered with them , one maid killed her lebanese employer with a knife , a kuwaiti man is sucpected of chocking his Ethiopian wife to death.

  4. He looks like an attack cat, doesn’t he, Purg?

    Aafke, I think the top one is a sugar bowl. They seem to have been made into windchimes, with silver utensils hanging down.

    Daggero – some of the most beautiful men and women in the world are Ethiopian – tall, proud with fine features. I have always wondered – what are witchcraft supplies? I wouldn’t know them if I saw them!
