Blessings
Hi Lynda and Bob, Thought I would add one more blessing to the mix, but after reading your page, I don't think you'll need it. What a wonderful wedding! I am so impressed with what you've done with your time in the peace corp. and also that you've found the perfect man to fit your life style. You will carry these memories with you forever! We miss you and can't wait to see you when you get home. We'll have to have another party, but it will have to start much later in the evening so you'll remember it. Love Evelyn

I enjoyed your Thailand post and photos... made me want to go back there! I was glad to hear that things are okay for the most part, outside of Thailand. My blog is looking for travel photos, stories, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels! Try to visit a Burmese market if you can, they sell some crazy stuff on the Thai/Burma borders! Heather :)

RE: Great Photos and stories
Sawadee Kah Lynda, I was just speaking about you to Ginette yesterday wondering if she had heard from you. Then your email blog came today-how timely. Thanks for putting together the photos and stories and letting the world know what else is going on around the other regions of Thailand. It is indeed sad what is going on in Bangkok. Before I left in March it was rumored that there was to be a massive demonstration. I don't think anyone dreamed it would have gotten this bad. I was skyping with a Thai friend last night who works at the hospital in BKK but has not been able to go to work in two weeks. Stay safe and continue all the great work you do. Linda Nathanson

thank you
Hi Lynda: Thanks so much for all the wonderful pics (even though some of them were hard to look at). All in all it does look like a beautiful country and as a US citizen I am so proud of what you are doing over there. Guess you heard Penny turned down a recall from furlough....just did not make any sense financially or otherwise. Bless her heart, put her in a frenzy for a few days. Mainly the health insurance part which we have been fighting with for years and years. She has watched us and doesn't want to put herself in that situation. Take care of your self and keep the info coming, Love, Linda

Enjoying your photos
Dear Linda, Sawadee Ka! I been back from Thailand and Indonesia for one week now. Sorry I did not get a chance to contact you or make it up to Northern Thailand. I broke my arm and though I had a great time (in spite of the arm) it made travel out of Bangkok challenging. I did travel and did volunteer work in Bali at a place called Santang Hati. A rehab center for victims of polio. I was gone two months and have learned tons. Been writing the whole time and trying to collate it altogether. I have had a hard time with re-entry to the Western world. I can't imagine what you will go through after two years. Yikes. I am writing to say thank you for posting. It was soothing today to read your email and see photos and hear of things that make sense. I will be seeing your cousin, Ginette this Wednesday. Take care. Linda

Wow!
Interesting details on the ordination ceremony- that's why I love reading your blog. Also enjoyed the photos immensely. I fell out of my chair seeing the McCain/Palin t-shirt, though. Too funny! Take care and be safe, my friend! - Debbie

Oh my gosh, it's Bernie!!! Thought you vanished from the planet. Just by accident I checked my blog comments and there you were from Dec. So how have you been? As Marvin mentioned I'm here in Thailand doing a 2 year stint with the Peace Corps. Have just finished my 1st year and enjoying myself. How about giving me your e-mail address and perhaps we can catch up on the last several years. My best, Lynda e-mail bcgypsey@gmail.com

Umbrella
Vicki, These umbrellas are all made from paper but treated with some glue like substance to make them waterproof. Most of the umbrellas I've seen in use are like the ones we buy at home. These seem to be used for decorations.

Go Girl!
Great pictures Lynda, enjoyed them so much. So happy to hear you safely returned and back to traveling again. The weather sounds inviting and everything is so colorful and the people look happy. We are doing well, keeping busy and trying to get the house next door ready for new renter. Having most work done, inside painted, hardwood laminate and carpeting done. Dry here a few days, been working outside, so refreshing! Take care. Look forward to your next "caper". Blessings.

congratulations!
Hi Lynda, Just heard the news that you're getting married in Thailand! How exciting! I guess having a companion and one who doesn't take no for an answer has finally paid off. I'm excited for you. I've loved reading your travel logs. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Joyce is so excited about coming to see you! She's had a tough year and deserves some time to herself. She might even want to become more like her Mom, which wouldn't be bad at all. Hope you guys have a wonderful time. I think we are heading to Italy in March if everything works out. The girls are doing good. No major problems in that area. Rich and I are adjusting to retirement. We would travel more but we still have 2 more years with the girls. Have a great final year! Evelyn

Unbrella Question
Hi Lynda! It was good to see you at Jazzercise................I'm wondering if the paper umbrellas are used for rain protection, and if so, how do they waterproof them? Or do they use a different kind for the rain and the paper ones for sun??? Vicki B.

Wonderful descriptions!
Love the color in your photos and descriptions! What a peaceful way for your neighbor to pass away and what a wonderful way to celebrate her life. I would love to be one of those people fitting in a visit with you - as my buddy Joyce is. I guess I'll just have to be content with our random meeting in North Bend! I have no doubt you are making a difference to those you touch there. Love, Deb

Health care
Dennis, you are so right and don't get me started on the nonsensical bullshit arguments about socialized medicine. I just wrote my Senator, Harry Reid about giving Americans the same health coverage HE has...we deserve nothing less! Yes, that is Bob my boyfriend and I'm very lucky to have him...no one else can handle me. Been trying to catch up with you on skype...heard you'll come back to Bkk in May, great. Talk soon, Lynda

Always fun
I know from whence you speak about the hospitals. I went to the other one off Sukumwit 49 for the dental appointments and it was super special. Keep up your therapy so that you keep the shoulder loose and have a great time in America. Obama is on the air tonight for a national address about the "surge" in Afganistan. Hopefully it all makes some sense. Killing people never seems a very cool thing to do. The health care debate rages on and on. Why they just don't get rid of the 65 age limit on Medicare and open it up to all the public is beyond me. But of course, I'm a sensible liberal who thinks that capitalism has its place but so does socialism. And!!!, your comments are never boring. Is that handsome man your boyfriend? Lucky you. Hugs, Dennis

Thanksgiving
Ginny, we had a great Thanksgiving and poor Bob was totally worn out when he returned home. We didn't seem to have a lot of free time together...My Thai friends love him and my PC friends all wanted to meet him. Thanks for keeping up with my adventures. Lynda

More furloughs at US Airways
Hi, Lynda, many more of our friends will be losing their jobs come February, as US Airways redesigned itself again. Doug and the others have decided LAS as well as many other stations aren't going to be their focus. LAS will be down to 36 flights a day by the first part of February. If you and I were still there we would become invols. PT back to Feb 1999, FT back to Apr 2002(I think those are the dates) will be gone. As you may expect there are a lot of very upset friends right now. You were very smart retiring. I wish I was 55 years old about now, but no such luck. Anyway, just thought I would fill you in if Penny or someone else hasn't already. I really love all your wonderful pictures and the stories of your adventures throughout Thailand and your many side trip in the other countries of Southeast Asia. Thanks for sharing them. As for me I am doing fine, just up to my eyebrows as always in politics, crafts and volunteering. You look like you are doing good from your photos. Thanks for what you do. You may feel like you are just one drop, but you are creating a very big ripple. Take care of yourself. Your Friend, Peggy
