Spring, Joe in Thailand and Book Review

What a glorious spring we are having in Pennsylvania. Here is a photo of our weeping cherry tree in full bloom.

The tree only holds it’s flowers for about three days. I was home to actually see it this year.

I am traveling to North Carolina today so thought I’d share some photos from Joe’s recent trip to Thailand. A few miles from Joe’s brother’s home is Thailand’s King’s Wat. It is a thousand acre park with beautiful buildings, monuments and temples.

BOOK REVIEW

 

We saw this little book at a book store in Bloomington, Indiana. Craig Yo is the author and although it was a short read, as I turned the pages it just grew on me.
