One cool aspect of Kuwait is the delivery service that is
available. If you need or desire something,
just call up your local shawarma stand, hardware store, or Taco Bell and – BAM –
45 minutes to an hour later, you have someone knocking on your door with your
goods in hand. There are many websites
dedicated to this delivery obsession so making your dreams into reality is as
simple as a click of a button.
Recently, Heidi was let in on a little secret. The grade two teachers have started a
tradition of “Caribou Thursday.”
Wednesday evening, one teacher takes the 2nd grade teachers’
coffee orders and calls Caribou Coffee.
Then Thursday morning (remember, our “Friday”) the coffees are magically
delivered to the front gates of our school.
This week, since Heidi is in with grade two, she was allowed to
participate in the coffee ordering magic.
Now, it does not matter that Heidi’s latte came without
foam. It does not matter that it was
lukewarm at best, by the time it arrived.
And, it does not matter that her 16 ounce latte (no flavor or fancy
fixings, mind you) cost her 2 KD (conversion = $7 USD). What matters is that this Thursday morning,
Heidi arrived to work to find a delicious cup of delight waiting to welcome her
into the weekend!! Thank you, Caribou!

| That's right. It's a $7 cup of magic. Hey ... you can't put a price on happiness. |
 |
| Fun little facts added to the enjoyment. Marshmallow happens to be Heidi's favorite flavor. (Right, Maria!) |
 |
| Thank you, delivery driver, for risking your life on your moped to drive in crazy traffic and deliver he perfect way to kick off a weekend. |
