A Crazy and fun day today.

I spent most of the day outside today. Mobuy, my new granddaughter, was here and Phai hooked up a hanging “basket” for her to sleep in. They connected a long rope so I could sit down and use the rope to swing her. Also Phai’s niece’s little girl was here a lot and she is really cute and has taken a liking to me. I was even getting kisses from her but she wouldn’t kiss Phai which we thought was funny. Also a neighbor with a three year old came over for awhile and he has taken to calling me grandpa (da long) and I had fun with him. He has always been very shy around me before so it was a surprise. Then all of a sudden Phai went next door because the person came that is selling  her two adult ducks and seven ducklings was there. They are now living in pens being Ning’s father in laws house on the back of our property. My sister wanted to know if they will be pets or dinner and I said yes. We will eat eggs and raise the ducklings until they are ready for you know what. They are in the video below.

It was a really nice today and we saw the sun for the first time in many days. I decided after watching Tampa News Channel 13 live on my iPad that I will not complain about rainy season here. They are having massive flooding problems in the Tampa Bay area due to a huge amount of rainfall. I am glad my townhouse in Brandon is on the highest part of the city. 

When I posted the photos from Chiang Rai I forgot that Phai had a number of photos with her iPhone 6 plus. So I will add some of those but I am out of time today so will do it in tomorrows post. 

Meanwhile, here are some photos from today and a video composite of the last few days including the new puppy and the neighbors getting their cement floor done. It was a very manual process as you will see in the video. I also heard from the brother of the girl in Mukdahan. He is three years older than her and she gave him my phone number. He is in Chiang Mai for awhile so will not get to meet me when we go to mukdahan but we had a nice conversation. He also spent a number of years in Austin Texas and has American citizenship. 

Phai just left with her son and his wife to get on the bus to Bangkok. It leaves from Na Klang at 7pm and will arrive Bangkok at 6am. They will go to the company for new paperwork and then have a 10:15 am appointment at the American Embassy. They will catch a bus back as soon as they finish. I am glad I do not have to go this time. We will see if they get tourist visas this time.

This is how Mobuy gets back to her house. Her mother drives and my granddaughter holds Mobuy while riding sidesaddle. Yikes!
