It is Sunday,, July 27th. I am posting more photos to freewebs (www.freewebs.com/punachat). They are uploading as I type this. Theo went rice planting and gained great esteem in the community. My knees and back won't even get me down into the fields! I have done some baking and the locals are loving banana bread, cinnamon swirl bread and plain old Italian bread. It is amazing what you can do with a two shelf toaster oven.
Malaria continues to be a problem here. No new cases in the last 5 days but our little 4 year old guy, PaBleh is not doing so well. They hauled him off to a small community hospital last night. I could provide care but the family won't listen to me; he is now very dehydrated. I am hoping they will be giving him IV fluids and his medicines there.
The photos include some green land next to the rice paddies. Theo and I are arranging to buy a few acres here overlooking the river. Of course, we can not own land in Thailand as foreigners, but his wife can and then we least it back for 30 years with a renewal guarantee. Ain't it fun? I sure think so!!!
Last evening a small group of boys came over selling corn. Cost me 10 baht (about 30 cents) for 12 ears of corn. I didn't have the heart to tell them we are growing our own corn. Heck I buy girl scout cookies and then give them away so this is the same thing! LO
Everyone else is out planting rice, so I guess I better get to cooking for when they all come in at lunch.
Aloha and Sawadee Kaaa

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
