Taking a 'mental' picture....

What a super day....an early bike ride through the rice fields accompanied by my beautiful girls. A quick stop at the local markets to buy bananas, then another quick stop, to drop them into a ladies house, ( a story for another day). Then I head off to work as the girls head off for their "cooking class"... I hope Vu can turn them into master chefs in 3 hours.....

We get a call at 12:30pm...."come check out our food".... So we ride around to 'Tam Tam Cafe' where the cooking is all happening!!

Mmmmmm Mmmmmm...yummo....

Hope they can remember and be bothered to cook like this when we get home.

So Andrew and I sit down to eNjoy what the girls have prepared. After this we are on a lunch break, so the girls and I stick around the old town and do some shopping...pretty sure they said they were looking for something for their boys..( Simon and Tristan)... But, hey.. They ended up with lots of clothes...."for themselves"......well there's always tomorrow!!

The sun's pretty intense so we head back to their hotel for a swim. And then around to '43' for a quick bite, then off to work for me and Andrew, while the girls go off in search of more bargains.

Maybe the boys will get something out of this session!!

The evening at the workshop was pleasant with a couple of students staying in our apartment block, coming to chat with us to, better their English skills, t

Lauren and Ali popping past, and everyone ended up sitting outside the workshop for a while chatting and laughing....So nice !!

Good day for sales, in fact good week, and so many lovely customers came through our shop....

After work we met the girls at a cafe on the river for supper. 

Beautiful lanterns and atmosphere....wonderful way to end a day....on the bike ride back to dropping the girls at their hotel, I was riding behind the others, and I just enjoyed a "mental picture" moment of the four of us riding though the streets of this gorgeous town, and thought I hope I will remember this image and this wonderful evening for a long time to come.

So So Blessed.....love my family beyond comprehension.....not enough words to describe how lucky I feel.

Big hugs all around as we said goodnight in their room....

Mumma bear, feeling very content.
