Me Ra spoke too soon yesterday.
This is her Husband, Brian. Last night after posting her blog and after dinner, she went to bed with her whole body hurting. No, not throwing up, but she’s got the same thing as the kids.
This morning, she felt well enough to let me know I was in trouble after [...]
She Spoke too soon
Our life has been made up of vomit and diarrhea the last seven days. Yep, there is no nice way to put it but just say it as it is. If this had lasted for one to three days, I don’t think I’d use a whole blog post to share. BUT as of last night [...]
It Started with a Simple Flight that Almost Crashed!
He was sitting next to me. The plane was headed to San Diego. It was the middle of December, and I felt so exhausted I chose not to introduce myself—just close my eyes and rest. And then the storm came. It was the worst storm that month for San Diego. The wind knocked our plane [...]
Reaching Your Destination with an Ape Close Behind!
“It’s peculiar, to reach your destination,” he told me. “You think you’ll arrive and perform the thing you came for and depart in contentment. Instead you get there and find distance still to go.”
-So Brave, Young and Handsome by Leif Enger
This quote couldn’t sum up the last few weeks of my life any better. Yep, [...]
Breakfast with Brian
We have left the island of Koh Tao. But before parting, I had to share this image. Every morning we had breakfast at this table overlooking the bay. Brian was feeling so stuffed up, but doesn’t the scene itself look serene. The kids would climb the rocks, and we would sit and read over a [...]

The first week has been [...]
A Birthday in the Clouds as I Make My Way Home
I was finishing up stuff for work a few days ago, so much was running through my mind. We still needed to pack, tie up loose ends with bills for the next two months…I was also in the midst of conversation with Brian, as all this craziness swirled through my head. We were sitting at [...]
Part 2: What Types of Lenses Do You Need?
We’re back for Day Two on Lenses. Are you all still with me? Thank you so much for all the comments in yesterday’s post. If you haven’t had a chance to read people’s comments from yesterday, I strongly urge you too. A number of people chimed in about their experience with lenses and what types [...]
How Did I Miss the Elephants and the Freaky Spider!
I’m slowly making my way through all our Thailand photos, and I don’t think I ever showed you the elephants! Is that possible!
When Brian and I went to Thailand last year, we came home with lots of elephant stories. A seed was planted in Blaze and ever since he has dreamed of riding elephants in [...]
