Today, August 12, all of Thailand is celebrating their beloved queen's birthday. On this special national holiday, not only is the queen celebrated, but also mothers are honored as it's Thai tradition that Father's Day and Mother's Day are celebrated on the birthdays of the king and queen.Since today is such an auspicious day, I thought that I'd to seize the opportunity to share this snapshot of one of my students in his "party" hat. Do you remember in my last blog that I mentioned that we made hats the day President Bush visited Klong Toey? Well, imagine my surprise as I folded this little guy's hat! Honestly, I can think of little more to write as the headline profoundly says it all..."The future of history is here." I do believe that Thailand's royal family and our president would most certainly agree.
Hope you have a happy Mother's Day!

So True..... and he wore it like a King! Did you notice the color most prominent in the picture under the title was Thailand's noble color yellow? He needs to treasure that hat and I'm sure he will live up to the expectations set forth in the headline. What a treasure you are as a teacher teaching their tender hearts and by capturing moments like these to remind us of the hope in our children and grandchildren :) love you...........
Where in the world is Tracey in Thailand?
I am so glad the children in your school have the opportunity to know you and your gift of teaching. "Back to school" items are all over the stores here, and I'm sure your KISD school is missing you about now!
