New Little Friends
We have some little friends that have been coming quite often to visit. They are a brother and sister, Ouo and Gaew, neighbors from a few doors down and they've been often showing up in the afternoons to play. When they come, they sometimes stand at the gate and yell, "Farang, farang!!" (foreigner), until we come. :) They love to play with our toys and Claire and Eliza and today stripped down and jumped in our pool (actually, they are still in there after dark, and don't want to go home!). They had some pb and j and popcorn tonight with the girls and seemed to enjoy it.
Claire and Eliza watching Curious George and having a picnic supper with Gaew.
We also got four other new little friends.....Chinese goldfish we named Isabella, Rosemary, Henry and Jack. In sad news, Dorothy passed on yesterday after exhibiting some weird symptoms like upside down floating and cloudy eyes. Fortunately the girls weren't too traumatized since we got the new fish the same day.
Last night Sharon and I spend the night with Trish and then went to the airport this morning bright and early- she's done with her one-year internship and headed back to America.
Good-bye Trishie! God used you to touch and bless a lot of people in Thailand, including us.... you've been a great friend to us and to Claire and Eliza. We will all miss you!!

Poor fish. New fish are notoriously fragile. Just hope it wasn't contagious.
Too the other fish. I'm sure your safe

Claire and Eliza, I am so glad that you are getting to know more kids to play with.

Hey Ryan- Dorothy was the big talapia we had for a year. Sniff, sniff. And we got a new tank for the new guys, so hopefully they'll be okay. They are looking perky so far.

Claire and Eliza, I'm glad you have some new friends to play with. How fun to be able to have a picnic on the floor and watch Curious George! Love you, Aunt C

It's neat to hear of your new friends. I'm sure it was hard to say good-bye to Trish. We prayed for her and for ya'll at church this morning. I miss you and treasure the memories we made while we were there. I'm having fun putting our pictures into a scrapbook.
