lunch, storms and babies

I am sorry there are no pictures for breakfast. It was to early.
For our quarterly best child award instead of a toy we decided to have a series of meals with mom and dad.
1. got breakfast - lunch & dinner
2. got lunch & dinner
3. got dinner

We did not count on 4 people tying for number 2 and 2 people tying for number 3 so instead of 3 people for meals we had 7.
But I was happy to have them.
I like the opportunity to have the children eat something different.

So Tong ate breakfast with us. (Not pictured)
He ate mango pancakes with bacon and scrambled eggs and juice.


Tong
Channee, Chi, Te-a and Tee ate lunch with us and they had 2 hamburgers french fries and soda.


Tong,
Channee, Chi, Te-a, Tee
Tate and Lim ate dinner with us and we ate fajitas with lime chips, salsa and hot chocolate.
Everyone was pretty happy. They like the salsa, a little hot for Te-a though.

Storms again. It is funny the last spiritual holiday we had a horrible lightning storm and I thought what a weird storm to come out of no where. That was in October a ghost holiday.

This time it is the sacrifice to your ancestors holiday and again a crazy lightning storm comes up.

I asked Ream what the people think about this.
She say they think it has something to do with the spirits either being happy or mad.
I am pretty sure it is not the spirits and I am sure HE is not happy. There is no wander to the reasons why this country has had such troubled times through out their history.
You can't please 2 masters.
These last 2 pictures are striking next to Rachanas house.




Some good news more baby pigs 14 of them for a total of 36.

really pretty colors and a real mix, some completely pink and some almost black.

Quite the package, mom delivered over 4 hours time. It is unusual because they normally come every 15 minutes once they start. The first came about an hour before the next, for a while we thought we would have to start pulling them out.
I really like these two black ones.

This cuty is Tripod it was so squished in there his leg grew backwards. I am going to try and make a little wheel chair for it but we are not sure it will survive. Mom has 13 nipples and there are 14 babies so Tripod has a difficult time getting in there. We switch it out when we can but it is hard to do and not have the mom jumping up.
You do not want the mom jumping up all the time because the piglets get in the way and get hurt.
Older litter, cement was hurting the pads on moms feet so we put some dirt down. These babies go to market around 5 days. The other goes in 2 days. But we will probably keep some for breading. we are told by many people we have the biggest babies in the village.
