Trix for dinner!
Our stuff is here! It was so fun to see my wonderful brother-in-law’s “Welcome 2 Thailand” note on one of our boxes (He practically packed all of them!)

Tooth Gone & First Visitor Here!
It seems like a lifetime since I have put down on “paper” what has been going on here as we adjust to living in Thailand. We are discovering that it takes a long time to get things done here…the other day when we arrived at the end of the day with a printer purchase, we … Continue reading
