Watch your mail for a thank-you note! Before today, I knew very little about the Kingdom of Bahrain, now I am inspired to learn more. w00t! It arrived! I am pleased you received it, albeit a little late. I hope the few little “local” gifties make you smile! ---

I am hoping to see my Giftee making a post that the gift has been received; now I’m getting antsy because no post yet! I am hoping it has not gotten lost in the post! It is on the way … and I am so very sorry that it’s so late. In other news, nothing has arrived at my doorstep yet either. Ah well! ---

I haven’t seen a post from my giftee either. I’d really like to know if she got it. ---
