Hiking Day

 Hiking Day

On a warm and nice day, a happy family agreed to go hiking at the park nearby home, "Grayson Highland State Park". It was the husband idea. 

Sugar was a lucky Asian woman who married to a very good American man and moved from the busy city of Thailand to live in the USA countryside. They enjoyed exploring in nature and educated their children, a daughter and two sons to love and admire everything surrounding. Everyone prepared their own belongings for a long hike and never forgot the walking sticks. They helped supporting the knees when walked on the long trails and maybe the steep hills. Five of them carried backpacks individually. The mother arranged water and lunches for each and put on the table which they grabbed and put in the backpacks before heading to the car. It took about two hours drive to get to the park entrance. The father was knowing the location very well. There was no park ranger around but not a problem. The visitors paid the daily fee $7 a day per car by their own.The envelopes provided for inserted the money and dropped in the box at the self service registration spot. Then, he tore the tag of the envelope and hung inside the car at the dashboard. Sugar was amazed by the system as people were sincerely. After that, they were heading to the parking lot where was 10 minutes away from the entrance. There were many cars that cause them drove around for a little while until they got a spot to park. Sugar realized from the amount of the cars that many people came to hike on the same day as them.

They walked slowly and appreciated everything they saw. Also, they walked carefully when steps on the hills and curves. Father walked in the front, children followed him and mother at the end of the row. There were narrow trails on the mountains. Many times, they stopped and stood at the side to let other people passed. The walking sticks were useful for everyone. Father always pointed at wild flowers and berries and explained to children then they learned about variety wild plants and fruits. Eventually, they were on the top of the big mountain and decided to have lunch. It was gorgeous scenery in front of them. Thus, they could see the valley from the distance.

None of them complained or tired but joyful and excited along the trails, especially when the children saw wild ponies. They were adorable. They spent 4 hours on the trails where did not need to walk back but it was a fork, direction back to the parking area. They were sweaty and stink but enjoyed the trip very much. 

It was a priceless family time.

Bam was refusing at first because her family will go to the beach. Also, Bam asked if Laura would like to join her.  Laura would love to go but she is not able to as she promised her father to  help him set up the party. Finally, they found out the possibility for Bam to enjoy the beach with her family in the morning and could attend the party at Laura’s house at 7 p.m. Laura asked Bam to bring her a beautiful shell from the beach for her souvenir before separating to their houses.

Kids lost in the wood😁


The  kids lost in the wood 


Two years ago, there were two children from a small village stole a canoe from a man next door. They wanted to play adventure without thinking about dangerous. They had so much fun canoeing and did not notice that the hard water currents brought them far away from the village and headed to the deep wood. It took a long while until they realized and started to shout for help but no one came to rescue. The canoe was floating along the water and got stuck at the big rock.  They were very panic and scared. As night fell, the forest was dark and cold. The sky was black as ink. They heard many strange sounds surrounded. The children were afraid, if they would nver be found. They had no idea how to get out from the wood. They were very exhausted and hungry then agreed to get off the canoe. They walked not far and saw a hut , then got inside. Lucky, there were fruits in a big palm sculpture and water in a pitcher. The kids ate and drank all then felt asleep. The next morning,  there were  fresh fruits  in the big palm sculpture and water full in the pitcher. The kids ate, drank and played around the hut. They enjoyed and did not think to go back home and never worried about food and water because every morning, the palm sculpture and pitcher always full.


A year later, a group of adventurers canoeing on the same direction and found their canoe. You do not believe this, the canoe was still there. They found the kids and brought them back to the village.


The two children discovered a good experience and came back to the hut. They developed

the area outside the hut for planting and raised animals such as chicken and ducks. Sometimes, their parents came along and stayed overnight as a family secret camp.

outfit by Pailin

I was one of seven siblings in a poor family. We had no money to buy new clothings but school dresses.  However, not all of us had our own shirts. The dresses passed through from the eldest sister to second, third, forth and so on  before me.  After that, I passed the dresses to younger kids. We only had a pair of shorts for each to wear at home but not everyone had shirts. Our dresses were rotten that could not recognize the original colors. Our parents had no time to wash and sewed because they worked hard to raise us.


At the age of nineteen, I got a job at the cotton manufacturer where provided uniforms to all employees. I did not buy new clothing because I made little income and I had to spend money for other important things. One year later, I got promoted to be a company operator that I became an office clerk. I changed to wear an office uniform instead of an employee uniform. The company provided shirts and fabric to tailor skirts. I designed skirts by myself and other staffs liked them. 


After twelve years, I resigned from that company and applied a new job in a foreign firm. I had a chance to wear whatever I like. I bought the cheap fabrics and hired a dressmaker to tailor my dresses. I was very happy to wear my own designed garment. 


Right now, I become  an elderly woman living in the USA countryside with my American husband. I like to wear comfortable outfits those we bought from the second hand shops and sometime my friends and customers gave me their clothes that I love to wear. I do not like spending my money to buy my outfits. I am a simple , cheap elderly woman and do not care much how to dress.
