Good Monday morning from Thailand!

  Sunrise from our front door!

Good morning from Thailand!   We have sunrise about 5 a.m.  It is 5 p.m. in central U.S.A.  (Sunday night).    When our granddaughter, Tatum Dotson was about 5 years old and Ron was on a trip to China, she would see the sunset and say, "Pooh (Ron's grandfather's name) is waking up in China.   I think of that every morning and evening as I think of family and friends on a 12-hour different time schedule.

Ron is heading to the jobsite this morning because the clearing of the property is supposed to begin today.  I have packed him a lunch (ham and cheese sandwich, roasted sesame covered peanuts, brownie, banana and protein bar)...with a big bottle of frozen water!

Our nights and mornings are very cool.  (66 - 90) is the basic temperature at this time of the year.  We open the door to the balcony and sleep with cool air instead of using the air conditioner at night.  It stays cool until about 2 or 3 p.m. each day.    I've been told this is winter and the temperatures will not rise more until about February.    They have just completed the monsoon season but it already seems very dry.
