Late
morning. Carol is still at her breakfast and you watched the latest episode of
"Revolution".
1023
hours. I am ready to work on Grandma-5. Such a beautiful day. Carol will want
to go on a walk when they return.
2046
hours. Boy was I fooled. We both worked around the yard, mowing, raking,
putting lawn furniture, etc. away; five or six hours worth by my estimation.
I'm tired (and I had an afternoon nap). We go to Columbus tomorrow for Aunt
Catherine's funeral and a visit with Uncle John before returning home.
You over-estimated the work by two hours but
I'm sure it felt like five or six hours. You were attempting to give ancient
Chinese names to the two people who are dead in Grandma's story. The Thailand
region would be a better (ancient) location than China. - Amorella
I
found this in a Wikipedia article on Thailand:
** **
"The traditional
Thai greeting, the wai is generally
offered first by the younger of the two people meeting, with their hands
pressed together, fingertips pointing upwards as the head is bowed to touch
their face to the hands, usually coinciding with the spoken word "Sawasdee
khrap" for male speakers, and "Sawasdee ka" for females. The
elder then is to respond afterwards in the same way."

How
about I call her "Sawasdee Ka" and him "Sawasdee Khrap"
with the irony being lack of respect and politeness for one another? Few would
know but a Thai might see the humor in it.
This shows more about your mind than most
would like to know. But go ahead, at least for now. Post. - Amorella
