Happy Anniversary to Us!

Well hey there! How are you doing today? Apart from the fact that Nong was at work this morning for 6:00 AM, we're doing alright and getting ready to celebrate this evening. Fill your coffee mug and hoist one of those mega-muffins onto your plate, why don't'cha and I'll tell you about it? 

Yup, it's our anniversary today...the first of two this week. See, in Thailand, you get married twice....first by the monks (in our case on August 11th) and then you usually go to the registry office the following day and get your marriage certificate. We couldn't go on the 12th because it was the Queen's Birthday and government offices were shut...so we had to wait till the 13th.

We don't have big plans...even though our friend Shaun gave us a bottle of tequila because he heard that I was making so many Margarita Cupcakes that I was running low. Oh, we talk every year about going out to a fancy restaurant. Instead, we always decide to stay home, cook up a nice piece of salmon with asparagus and mushrooms.. Reckon we'll do the same tonight. We've been doing the same for years...speaking of which, it is our 26th today. Well into our second quarter-century. 

Some pix from our wedding...oh so long ago... here's the happy couple...

The nine monks...

and the inevitable food for the monks.

That's all folks.

See ya, tomorrow, eh!

Bob.
