a night at my parents'

friday night, after closing shop, we went the village to stay overnight at our parents'. we do this once or twice a month. and now it was time to go again.

in the morning, i got up and left the house for running. again i went alone. nobody was interested. i ran for 50 minutes along the hilly road leading to the market. i didn't run to the market this time just past half way and then ran back..

it was getting hot when i was running back. and there were a lot of motorcyles dashing pass, going and coming back from the market..

i got used to running on this road a lot more and found that it was very serene and enjoyable running alone outside. the air was fresh and pure. the soft sunlight was hugely soothing.

.. here are lines of rubber trees standing long the road..

..i got home from running and saw py was playing with her new toys..

we bought her birthday gifts a bit early as next month she is going away for chinese new year. we gave her a dancing crocodile and a mini-pool. she loves them so much. the dancing crocodile scared her when she first played with it. and now she is trying to get used to it. she is not the doll typed-girl so we bought her this kind of toy..

in the mornning after running, we drove to tienpae's house to play with her. we like to go there running on the fresh grass topped with morning dew. tienpae looks like me when i was her age, only that i was darker..

..girl play..

tienpae fell down on the floor when she played with py.. but they had lots of fun..

and py too while trying to ride the new bike of tienpae..

one bike with 3 girls..

it was a fun morning with kids running around and adults running after them..

then, they moved inside and py looked for more of tienpae's toy..

after leaving tienpae, we headed to our new house. we liked to see the progress of the pool and the house. dad hired someone to do the job for him. we were glad that he did so as we didn't want him to do it alone, with us living in hadyai..

this flower, i am still trying to figure out the name but haven't known it yet.. it just started to bloom few days ago and it gave a very good soft smell..

py was running around the house. i love the surrounding of it. very shady. it's a nice place to tie up a hammock and read a good book or take several catnaps..

..after that we went back home and let py play in the pool.. we let her play just few minutes bc the weather was pretty cool..

we left for hatyai at 11 am, sneaked out of the house while py was busy with somebody else..

and it was time to get back to my shop and work!
