I had mentioned Easter a couple of days ago to Teoman. I couldn't believe Teoman remembered, but it was the first thing he said when he woke up. "Is it that day? What do you call it? Are we going to play that game where you say hot-cold?" Last year, I hid some plastic eggs filled with chocolate for them, but they couldn't find many - so I would say warmer, warmer, warmer to help them locate the eggs. They are the best age to play these games - because Tomris says things: This is a great Easter egg hunt.
We have been to the American base chapel in ages. They have a new chaplain that we hadn't met yet and the crowd was thin because any new transfers are not allowed to bring their families with any longer to Turkey - including the new chaplain. So the service was barebones. A few hymns, a prayer, a message, and end with no dinner for families afterwards. But, it was great to be in our little America again.
Tolga had voted today as well. A simple paper that said "EVET" on one side with a white background, and another side that said "HAYIR" with a brown background. Voters turned up at where they were registered - public schools organized with registrants who picked up the paper and put an official stamp the side he or she agreed with, put the slip in a sealed envelope - and the vote was done.
The result was much closer then I accepted.
51% Yes
49% No
On Easter Sunday.
