Thanksgiving

First I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!  I had a pretty good day here myself. I spent thanksgiving the way i think you are supposed to when away from home, with a few of the people you like to hang out with. I made a friend fellow HMC over at the MARSOF compound and we kinda put together our own thanksgiving food was good and company was good. I will get some pictures and post them. I was able to talk to Sheila and the Girls and that always makes any day instantly brighter, so that was good. Hope everybody is doing well. 

We are having a hell of a storm today, wind and sandstorm, intermittent rain and over all greyness, really makes you feel like staying inside.

For my Friend Kathy

Here are pictures of the Naan Bakery next to the hospital. They are a really good bunch of guys. They make everything by hand and the Naan is like thin crust pizza. It is really good they use wood to fuel the Tandoors(oven) so there is a nice smoke flavor to the Naan.  I go over to the bakery about once a week and get Naan  hot right out of the oven sooooo good.

Carpets

Haven't figured out how to mail them yet customs and all. Plus they can be quite heavy. I do have a hook up in post office right now so I will get the gouge. If you have something in mind please leave a comment on the blog for the type of carpet your looking for and silk or wool and the colors you have in mind and the kind of design. I will get over to the store and take some pictures post them on the blog you tell me yea or nay and I will pick it up for you. Providing of course I will be able to mail them. Hell yes Jenny I will hook you up just tell me what your looking for. Sheila I would love to get a few of these carpets just give me an idea of the colors your looking for. V-Bog I'm sure you want in on some of this too.

There are some beautiful rugs in there, some Persians, Afghan, and Turkmen, and the lot, Silk on silk hand tied, silk on wool, wool on wool, sheeps wool and camels wool.  Here are some pictures of  some of carpets. There are some very nice Herat carpets that are camels wool and sheep wool they are anywhere from $100 to $400 dollars depending on size type of die and how many knots are in them. The top carpet is an Herat carpet about $100 and the bottom is an Afghan car[et can't remember the tribe but really nice $250. Herat is famous for carpets. 

Total BS on the game

First of all Sheila, I'm glad you Jets finally beat the Patriots. It was a hard fought game and entertaining to watch. Good for Sheila to have her day.  It was nice to video chat while watching the game.
