The Papa of Siripron, he is now 91, went a few times to a clinic in Sawang Daen Din. He has many problems because of his very low blood pressure. He is almost all of the time not stable because of Vertigo. Siripron and her middle sister Wannapa are now every night with him, at the house of sister Warunee, to take care and help him when he has to “walk”. We also arranged that niece Araya (Khai Mook, daughter of Nong & brother Den) is taking care of Papa 5 days in the week.

Rice field, Visit, Papa and more…
The second week of November the major part of the rice field was ready to harvest, so Siripron paid a few people the cut the rice plants. After that the harvest had to dry on the rice field and in Siripron her weekends she helped on the rice fields of the family. A few days later the threshing machine came to the rice field to get the rice from the harvested plants. Later the last part of the plants were cut, was dried and the threshing went by hand. We have now more than 35 big bags of unhulled rice.
After his visit to Laos and Vietnam, my oldest brother Peter arrived on Sunday 17 November in the afternoon at Sakon Nakhon airport where we met him. On the way to our home we had a great dinner at a restaurant, about 20 km from our home. The next day the plan was to go to the Ban Chiang Museum but that was closed on Mondays, so Peter and I went to the Lotus Temple nearby. In the evening we went to a restaurant in Sawang Daen Din. On Tuesday Peter had to fly back the Netherlands, so early in the morning we drove him to Udon Thani for his flight to Bangkok. It was again a short visit but it was great that Peter could visit us for the second time !!!

For the building blocks I only finished the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express train because the missing parts arrived in the last weeks of November. There are still a few things to build and the last order (for now) will arrive soon.
For the virtual challenges I walked & biked in America (Appalachian Trail & the Oregon Trail) and in Norway (the Fjords of Norway). I finished the Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” challenge. At the end of November the last 3 Harry Potter challenges were announced and I.ve started number 5 (The Order of the Phoenix).
