So Long, Farewell!

The time has come to say goodbye to Aunt Debbie. Last week, we watched "The Sound of Music" and have sang the songs almost daily since then. We decided to create our own version of "So Long, Farewell" for Debbie. Here's to you Aunt Debbie. We miss you already!


There's a sad sort of sound from the house on the corner,

And the family members each one, too

And throughout the rooms,

an absurd little gecko

is popping out to say,

gek-gek, gek-gek


Gek-gek regretfully they tell us,

Gek-gek but airline tickets compel us

to say goodbye

Gek-gek


So long, farewell

Swatdee kha goodbye

you came, you saw

we hope you won't forget

the times we shared,

it was all just a ball



So long, farewell

Swatdee crop, goodbye

the flowers were such a pretty, pretty site,

you oohed and ahhed, almost all night


So long, farewell

Swatdee kha, goodbye

my room just isn't

the same without you in it

(chit-chat, chit-chat, chit)



So long, farewell

Swatdee goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye

The pictures you've all been waiting for...

After a little set back, a foot message is always a way to feel better, because the elephant camp was awaiting. Debbie enjoyed a hug from one of the elephants before a ride on "Poo Billy" who is 29 years old! As most of you already know, Debbie LOVES flowers. The flower market and plant market brought lots of oohs and aahs, along with the naming of most of the flowers. The orchid farm has many varieties and was a must see after leaving the Elephant camp. We couldn't resist adding an orchid picture. We'll try to add more pictures in the next couple of days. Enjoy!

This is certainly not the most popular tourist attraction. However, Debbie has been able to experience health care, Thai style!! We have laughed and said that she just wanted to make sure Jerry has had adequate medical care over the past year. After 3 days, she is now feeling somewhat better. The stories she takes back to Mississippi will have a bit of a different flare from past visitors!

Aunt Debbie Arrives!

We are thrilled to have Aunt Debbie visit! We've counted down this day for months. Can't believe she's actually here! Our first full day was very enjoyable. Here's a few photos from the day...
Debbie, Adriann and a hill tribe girl

Swim Meet

The end of the year swim meet was hot, wet and lots of fun! This was Adriann's first year on the swim team and it proved to be a highlight of the school year. Way to go Adriann!
