Happy Birthday Grandma Betty!!!

There is a quality about you
That touches me deep in my heart
This quality is so special
It sets you quite apart
Your special ways of doing things
In everything that you touch
The warmth you have for others
Is why I love you so much
Your gentle and loving way
So much you give to others
You have so many good qualities
I don't see in other grandmother's
I truly am so thankful Grandma
For what in you I see
I hope someday my children
See the same things in me

Happy Father's day (thailand).

Today is the Thailand King Bhumibol Adulyadej's birthday. This is a national holiday! There are shrines to the king all over thailand and at the begining of every movie we stand while we salute the king.

Camera Lessons-Framing

This week my lesson was "rules" of taking a picture...one was using your environment to sometimes make a frame...her is my Thailand version of that! LOL

starting younger and younger

This is a two year little girl (daughter of one of our manicure/pedicure ladies) she was chatting on the phone with her grandma---VERY impressive how well she could talk at 2! And she was just sooooo cute!

Christmas time

Even Thailand has started getting some Christmas decorations up! It helps get in the holiday spirit to see some Christmas trees up.

Christmas Countdown

I found me a Christmas countdown calendar at the store! I now get one piece of chocolate everyday till Christmas!
