Here now



I hope that where ever I am, I remember to laugh, smile....notice the beauty and blessing of every day.
Representing our charity on a corporate yacht sunset cruise.... as we prepare to set off.
Stretching before aerobics in the park by the beach with my friend, Weera


Fah - could he be any cuter?

Last year, these boys may have been the naughtiest in the primary school.  This year, they are competing to raise their hands first and get their names listed under the "Happy Face" in my classroom.  This artwork of places in town is a project that they (and they alone) asked if they could take home to finish!
A feast outside of Weera's (massage) shop with four of the students.  We shopped at the market together and ate steamed crab, shrimp and shells that we wrapped in lettuce with noodles and spicy sauce.
I go to the temple next door to the school almost every day to pray and meditate and wash dishes.   My friend there,
Yahoo!  Taking the kids swimming.       





Catherine, is clowning around (as usual).




Armelle visits!  (See right/below - a typical Armelle expression)












































































































Our hotel's gorgeous beach at Racha Island.  No cars, few people, loads of fish in clear water.



We would snorkel for more than an hour at a time, popping up out of the water and laughing in amazement and disbelief at all the fish surrounding us and following us around  - like our entourage!


Another great meal on our resort's beach.   The restaurant manager kept enticing us to stay longer with freebies and special things he would make for us.  
We did extend our stay --  because it was impossible to leave there until the absolute last possible moment.
