weather was always warm to hot and sunny---thinking may return and rent house for about $400 u.s. per month--but--- may choose Chiang Mai as its a bit more civilized with more to see and do --especially like the zoo and swim club there---but   wont return til spring 2016 at earliest--

it's now sat nov 7 2015                  and I just rediscovered this blog-

-also am suddenly feeling extremely lonely as daughter Beth just walked out the door saying she'd be gone all night staying with friend in Richmond --

-didn't know she had a friend in Richmond -

-and I an having health problems -
--respiratory, lesion on leg, and something else that I wont discuss-

I have no car  but can walk to several places to get groceries---trader joes, Costco and whole foods  also krogers

so here I sit alone but kitchen is fairly well stocked and Beth and I had some fun yesterday going to get her car looked at and going to Costco  to shop a little ---

she works 2 jobs and I sit home doing internet and tv ----but do also some reading---have read all of John Grisham--am now on "A CARLIN HOME COMPANION ---by George Carlin's daughter Kelly--

so--  my phone is 434 466-0339 cell phone----made a pumpkin pie last nite --all orgainic ingrediants from WHOLE FOODS MARKET
