I’m Freaky For Tiki #11: Miscellaneous #2–The Gift of Tiki

Zowie! In the past several weeks, I have been overwhelmed with generosity of some people—all from work. I am speechless (well, almost… Here I am WRITING about it all now.) with their thoughtfulness and simply blown away!  Some of it I’ve shared before (in the regular blog portion), but it won’t hurt to share it again.

A friend (David Rogerson) who lives in Australia went to New Zealand over the holidays and saw this…and knew I had to have it:

For Christmas, a wonderful young woman (Anna Yang) who used to work in my department (and who was my preceptor when I first started) and now works nights in the float pool, stopped in and brought me this o’ so thoughtful Christmas present, which was completely unexpected. WOW! WOW! WOW! I loved it.

A few days later, he brought me a bonus present. It was a pineapple shaped tiki table torch! Ha!

Then, just last week, he showed up with another box. He said they were gifts from his parents. Inside was some weather-worn metal signs with tiki themes. He spied them in his parents’ backyard and asked about them. He was told they had been there since they bought the house (but they don’t look that old to me—so who knows how long they have lived there. Not long, I’m guessing…). Worn or not—it was very thoughtful and they are super cool.

A cool tiki bowl from the new Grass Skirt tiki bar! ZOWIE! Soooooo cool!
