Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have many things to be thankful for, especially this blog for my sanity and my family for being so supportive. I can’t believe it has been 5 years since I started blogging. I never thought that I would have committed myself this long. Thanks to this blog I have learned new skills, acquired new knowledge and picked up new friends along the way. November 25 marks my fifth year anniversary, 1295 posts and still going.

If the question is for my blog, probably not so good. I can’t help but feeling guilty that I have not been posting good contents lately and translating Thai ghost story that I love to read so much. As you can see that the offering bowl is not complete, it’s lacking water which I sometimes forget to offer at the temple. A reminder to self, I will work on translating a ghost story.
One of my goals is to read more this year, whether it be a professional publication, photography book or book for enjoyment which most of us don’t have much time these days. My first book this year is War Remains by Jeffrey Miller. I ordered the book for myself as a Christmas gift back in December and finally have a chance to sit down and start on it. So far I’m loving it and can see this made into a great action movie. My dad would definitely enjoy watching, I used to watch war movie with him when I was little.

War Remains is Jeffrey’s first novel. More about Jeffrey from the back of his book: Originally from LaSalle, Illinois, Jeffrey Miller has been living and working in Asia since 1989. He divides his time between Korea and Laos where his wife Aon and two sons, Bai and Jeremy Aaron live.

Jeffrey is also one of my blog friends, I love the photos of Laos that he shares on his blog.
It didn’t seem that long and this post has made the 1090 posts, and 4 years of blogging. I want to thank you for your visit, especially to all the commenter and silent readers.
In a way we are very much like the pilgrims but came way later so Thanksgiving celebration is a big thing for us. We had our Thanksgiving lunch at Bo’s parents and dinner at my sister, which she made Pho or Vietnamese noodle soup for us.

The remaining of Sunday’s photos. Biltmore Estate is very pretty in the Fall, with the busy schedule I didn’t make it up there for Autumn peak colors. But what little that’s left is still very pretty.
