Summer Starts!

Hi, everyone!

It’s officially summer now, and the weather is beginning to agree.  Some of my friends are on summer vacation.  Moose-san sent me a postcard from Maine. My friend Monster Rock in Michigan sent me an e-mail with a picture of him stretching after he woke up from winter hibernation.    We are still having some rainstorms, but that makes the sunsets really pretty!

Springtime Walks

Hi, everyone!
It’s FINALLY spring here, for sure! We have a new fence to replace the old one that was falling down. I was a good helper and made sure the rails were put into the posts just right! Lots of my spring flower and shrub friends at Grandma and Grandpa’s house have started to bloom. Grandma and Grandpa took me out to Sodus a week ago, and we had a very pretty sunset.

Hi, everyone!
Yesterday was Easter, but today it’s snowing again! I don’t think that is a very nice April Fools trick for the weather to play on us!

Two More Capitals!

Hi, everyone!
Last weekend, my Thai friends took me to see two more places that have been the capitol of Thailand in the past: Ayutthaya and Lopburi. Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand from about 1350 to 1750 A.D. The king moved south from Sukhothai to build a new city. I got my special traveling seat in the van again, so I could see everything while we were driving. Continue reading “Two More Capitals!”

Sukhothai

Hi, everyone!
Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa and my Thai friends took me to visit Sukhothai. Sukhothai was the first capital of Thailand, before Ayutthaya or Thonburi or Bangkok. The Thai kings built Sukhothai about 800 years ago! There are lots of stone and brick ruins, but most of the walls and all the roofs are gone. We visited three historical parks that are World Heritage sites. Continue reading “Sukhothai”
