Great stuff, tears in my eyes, I like the one about folded clothes an the one about Burger King. We have breakfast in BK every Saturday at 10.00, as Mrs La Rue likes it and she claims the fries are better there than in MacD.
Ĝooks like TGs and BK is a World wide phenomenon?

Another interesting first today. I thought I was late on the rent for the apartment we have up here, and because a client is town, I wasn't going to be able to get home for lunch to pay it.
So I wrote out checks for the power/water and rent, but left the amounts blank, in case there was a late fee. Figured this would be a good challenge for her, run downstairs to the office when it opened, write the amounts, and get receipts. She did some of the bookkeeping at the restaurant where she worked in BKK, so it seemed doable. I asked her if she thought she could handle it, she said, "Yeeees, it not kill me, you know!"
Well, we would see.
As things turned out, my client headed out early for lunch, as I had a few things to take care of at the office, so I opted to swing by the apartment at lunch to see if my TGF had completed her mission. On the way past the office, I was called into the door, where the two ladies who work there, and the husband of one who is the complex's handyman, were sitting. They were all laughing and said that my TGF had already been downstairs and was "cute" and "a real sweetheart." I thanked them for making her feel at home, then headed up to the apartment.
My TGF was surprised to see me home for lunch, and I asked her how it went downstairs. She said they told her what the amounts were and then she filled in the numbers and words on the checks herself. And got the receipts. Then she pulled out her notebook and showed me where, earlier in the morning, she had been practicing writing the words "ten, twenty, thirty" etc. all the way through the hundreds. Her comment: "You know, not hard, same like Thai, only ones a little hard are twelve, thirteen, fourteen, dot dot dot." She also showed me where she'd found some info on USA money in her illustrated Oxford Thai/Englsh dictionary (a large format book, great for learning Thai or English).
So I gave her a big kiss, told her I was proud of her, and then ate the sauteed chicken and rice dish she made.
Off to work, and back home after 6, I arrive to the smell of garlic and ginger. She's steaming mussels in a sauce of lemon grass, garlic, ginger, and red pepper, and deep frying some chicken in black pepper and garlic. I tossed off my shoes, changed into street clothes, and kicked back as she set the table. Delicious, to say the least.
After that, we compared notes from each other's day and relaxed. She's sleeping now, as it's a bit late for her, and I'm typing this thinking things aren't so bad today.

Steamed mussels, number one for food for 'power'
A good cook too, I'd say it's going very well

Hard to believe it's been so many weeks since the last post, so figured it was time for a few more stories.
My company decided to send me and the CEO out to ABQ for a conference. I still own my home in New Mexico, so figured this would be a good chance to show the missus her real home. The CEO was hip to me staying at my home overnight, saved money on hotels and was cheaper for the the company to let me rent a little shitbox car.
The flight was two legs, the southward leg took us along the eastern escarpment of the Sierras. My TGF sat transfixed to the window all the way. She'd never seen mountains like this before, covered with snow and peaks as far as she could see.
On the Vegas to ABQ leg, I had her sit on the north-side window, so she could see the Grand Canyon. It was a bit hazy as we passed, so not as spectacular as I'd hoped. But the relative immensity of the country finally started sinking in as she realized we'd been airborne for a few hours. She asked how much farther it was to my parents home up in New England. When I told her, she just gasped.
Some more time elapsed, we were somewhere over western New Mexico when she said to me, with a very serious face, "Honeyja, why is America so big?" Well, I couldn't resist, so I smiled and replied, "Because Thai lady like big, BIG!"
That facetious remark to what she considered a serious question got me a grumpy face and an elbow in the ribs, lol!
When we got to ABQ, and headed to the rental office, she had a big smile on her face. I asked her why, she said, "It warm here, I not need jacket, feel very comfortable!"
We grabbed the car and headed to the house. When we got there, I let her in, showed her the joint, and then started unpacking the suitcase. Was interesting to watch her quietly putt around the house, making mental notes, and assessing her own farang-style house after waiting 6 years to make this trip. There was a remarkable look of calm and contentment on her face.
Next day, I was up before dawn and out before she awoke. The conference ended before sunset, so I shot home to take her out for Vietnamese noodles. When I got home, I didn't see her anywhere, so I happened to look out the back door and saw her standing with her jacket on, staring at the Sandia Mountains as the sun set. The only word I can use to describe her face is "serene."
But I decided to break the magical moment and walked out back. She finally noticed me and said in a very quiet voice, "You know, is very beautiful here, this place a lot like my village, very quiet. You can see children playing over there [pointing to a playground beyond the arroyo]. But not same at night. At night, we sit out front, know everyone, we ask when people walk by, 'Where you go? What you eat for dinner tonight?' Here, people go inside, not talk!"
We spent another two days there, wherein she packed the suitcase with stuff I hadn't brought with me to the apartment. Then we boarded a plane and headed back to our mountain apartment redoubt.
