Our five year adventure in Doha, Qatar ended June 1, 2012, but the memories will always remain. It's back to Texas where I have decided...Qatar isn't cornering the market on "quirky", as I once believed. Thanks for opening my eyes to the world, Doha!

Made Maid in the USA



Just when I thought my leisurely life of man maids was exclusive to Doha, a new one enters my Texas life. Move over, Pabell, Sakeel, and Babu, you have some serious competition.


Now that's some sucking up.
I bet he doesn't come cheap!

So, There's These Three Dudes...

Upon moving to Qatar, I couldn't believe all the quirkiness and what was often referred to as "Only in Doha" moments. A corner wasn't turned without visions of blog snippets dancing in my head. Five years later and back in Texas, I realized that Doha had opened my eyes. Texas can be purty darn quirky, itself! And that ain't no bull, hmm, or maybe it is as I previously reported.

Case in point...

DUDE, where's my car...WINE?

No, this is not photo shopped. Cancel that trip to the Napa Valley and head on over to San Marcos, Texas to tickle your palate. Not sure where the dog comes into play, but hey, does it really matter? I mean Three Dudes was enough to catch my eye.

Cheers!

I'll have to leave the wine tasting to you. Confession: I don't like wine. I've had the honor of picking grapes on a vineyard in Tuscany, but still have never been able to develop a taste for it. However, a margarita every blue moon...hmm, hey dudes?!

From TEXAS, Home Sweet Home...


And you thought I could only come
 up with "Only in Qatar" moments.

This "Only in Texas" moment is brought to you from my dear old mom's neighbor in Groves, Texas.  Thanks, Buddy.
