I Am Grateful Today. I Will Be Grateful Tomorrow.

Although service is an everyday theme in our lives, in our post on weekly  themes we dedicated Saturday for Service.  And it’s Saturday! It’s in our blood.  We cannot fight it.  We get overly excited about helping others not just financially, but with our sweat and tears.   It’s harder for me to gauge via online [...]

Breakfast in Chiang Mai

Published on 2010-08-05 20:00:59

I know you’re wondering what we are eating here in Chiang Mai after living in Texas for 30+ years (only 7 for Emma though). It’s different if we were vacationing in Thailand. We’re not. We live here now and we feel it is important to maintain some consistency in our diet and to continue being [...]

The Ever-Changing and Mesmerizing Views of Doi Suthep from our Balcony in Chiang Mai

Published on 2010-08-02 21:49:39

Since we arrived in Chiang Mai, we’ve been staying in a place where we have a grand view of the famous mountain from our 8th floor tiny apartment for three.  Everyday, I’d wake up early and the first thing I do would be to open up the curtains to see whether the mountain is covered [...]

One-Way is NOT the NORM, Apparently!

Our first post from Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was surreal for us too when we purchased our one-way tickets to Chiang Mai, Thailand departing from LAX.  Even more surreal when we got to the China Air check-in counter at LAX for our departure at 2am that morning. A very pleasant lady at the counter looked [...]

I Love That Our Countdown Clock Says “15 days Ago.” That’s What We Call A *Kick Arse Dream Come True.*

For months I’ve been feeling dreadful.  What was I dreading about?  The purge. The clean up.  To sell or rent?  Would we find a decent tenant?  What about the cars?   Jack’s job.   Our future.  Our finances.   Emma’s school.   You know,  all the dizzying logistics. It’s been crazy scary.  It’s been an [...]
