Waiting

Hi,

Well, not much is happening around here. We traveled home today. Spent the morning just hanging out in our hotel room. We did stop by the pool and gym after breakfast. Very nice facility. We'll stay there again, the next time we motor down.

"There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost, but you'll never see the end of the road while you're travelling with me. Hey now, hey now, __ __ __ __, hey now, hey now..." Hint: I practically gave it to you. No mail today, on the song. Hmm, Lisa got it. You must all be out shopping.

The dirt chapter is done at the site. I've been pondering what to call this whole project. It's not a house yet, and it's not quite a yard (one of my favorites), it is 'the place' where all those things will happen. Hmm, maybe that's it, 'The Place'.

Tomorrow Supat will take us over to The Place to look around and check out the progress on the dirt wall. This is not a wall of dirt, but a wall to hold the tons of dirt that were dumped at The Place. The collective minds have been working overtime, thinking about floors, lights, roof style, trees, pools, windows, and then it's nap time. (that list made me sleepy)

Thailand Observation: There is always some sort of construction going on and it's not unusual to see women working side by side with the traditional male workers. Whether it's carrying lumber, laying bricks, smoothing concrete or pondering a problem, it's nice to see an equality of labor that we weren't used to seeing. I'm not sure what it says, but it speaks to me.

One week from today we will arrive in America. We take off from BKK on December 20, travel through a wormhole, and arrive at LAX on the same date. Pretty slick. Now comes the task of deciding what not to bring with us. Is it still cold, is it snowing there, do we leave our 'Thai clothes' and just wear what we left? I know, way too many questions. Oh well, I just wanted you to know that it's not all a bed of roses over here. Sometimes we have to make critical decisions.

Have a Great Day.

Peace,

Danny
