RE: It's Not Really A Big Deal But...I Go Shopping For Groceries On My Front Lawn :) Here's Today's Treats!
The happiness on your face in the first photo reminds me of two things. The happiness on my face when I had my own garden and joy and pride it gave me know I'm eating food that I myself grew.
The second thing it reminds me of is the happiness on my face when I landed in Bangkok Thailand yesterday. The familiar sights, sounds, smells.....not only gave me goose bumps but also put a smile on my face from ear to ear. You are certainly in your element on the homestead as I too am in mine with two dollar thai curries and exotic budhist temples and culture.
I'm sure your produce tastes as good as it looks. Keep up the good work!

It sounds like you really feel at home in Thailand. I certainly have enjoyed any of the Thai foods I have tried so far in life, I could only imagine that it's 100% better to eat it in Thailand though! :) I'm glad you are having such a wonderful experience being there right now :)
Thank you for your two super kind comments. Yes I love it here. I mean this country has so much to offer it's unreal. I like to think of it as first world at third world prices. Which basically means it's a big time "pay less get more country" That's always a good thing. Thai food in the US and Canada doesn't really compare. The 2 dollar green curry I had yesterday blows the 15 dollar green curry out of the water I had back in the states just last week. I'm back to loving life. Maybe it will reflect in my posts. We'll see. Glad you are right at home with your garden and family. Keep up the great work!

<3 <3 Ahhhh you're making me want to catch my first flight out of here Dan!AHHAAH I can't wait to read your upcoming posts, and be sure to get some nice pics of the food eh?!
My tomorrow morning, I'll have a great post sharing the incredible day I had with my new friend/translator/tourguide I met on the plane, named Pup. Super cool kid (24). Helped me buy a new (used) camera. 16mega pixels, rechargeable, samsung one year old for 50 dollars. So my photos should be way better now.
I'm flattered by how intrigued you are with my travels. However you are living the life I would be if I had kids, a family, and a stable home. I think that is super commendable, and incredibly wholesome. I really love how rich and wholesome your life is. Do you home-school your children? That is probably the rout I'd go this day and age, especially in the states. If I'm ever ready to settle down I'm sure you can teach me a thing or two.
I'll have some decent food pics tomorrow and make a point to make better ones with you in mind! Thanks again for the encouraging words. -Dan
Yes, this is a great life for the children, and for our raising them. I do want to homeschool them acutally! I homeschooled my eldest son for 1 year while we were travelling across Canada, trying to find our perfect place to Land, to Live. Unfortunately for me though, my kids are all super social butterflies, and they LOVE school! AHHAHAA And me being the open minded Mom I am, I don't want to force my beliefs on them, so I let them go, but they know the door is always open to learn at home.
The school they go to here, only has 50 students in the whole school, so I am happy that they are happy there. Small classrooms and a laid back, country approach to children and learning . Also, my kids receive "re-education" from me daily when the school teaches them only one side of any story, I make sure to fill them in on the rest of the story and encourage them to find more answers on their own too. :)
I'm looking forward to those food pics !!! HAHAHAHAA!!!! I'll be watching my feed for it. Congrats on the awesome camera find too! :)
