Thankful in Thailand

November is always a month that I will be forever grateful for. Growing up in Wisconsin we always had Thanksgiving dinner with more than 20 family members and several days of food preparation beforehand. I remember the leftovers best, as somehow everything tasted better later that night and the turkey stuffing sandwiches with mayo and cranberries were yummy the next day as well as moms famous vegetable and turkey noodle soup.

Even better was the gift of a new life, a daughter who was born on Thanksgiving Day. She will always remind me to be thankful. This year was the best ever as she and my grandsons Aidan and Taylor came to Ga-Ga’s house in Thailand to celebrate her Birthday and Thanksgiving!  We celebrated with some of my Thai friends and had Birthday cake and apple pie for dessert! Then we topped the eve off with a rousing sing-a-long, complete with wireless microphones… the Thais love their Karaoke and so appreciated Carries beautiful singing voice… even Taylor got into the action with the popular hit song ”It’s all about the Bass.”

The next day they ventured off to the new Cartoon Network waterpark and enjoyed it immensely, sadly I didn’t go as I was teaching… Thanksgiving is not a school holiday in Thailand. 

Then we embarked on an evening trip to Pattaya, moonlit rooftop dining and a specular fireworks display for the finale to an incredible weekend…
well almost we still had a day at the beach before they ventured back to Hong Kong...so thankful to have shared this special time with my family.

P.S.  I love the magazine cover photos that the boys shared, awesome!
