HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY

Can anyone remember that movie from 1941 ?It was a great movie and was shown on tv many times , it stared Walter Pigeon and Mareen O'Hara and won five academy awards, I remember seeing it as a young fellow and loved it . Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day with no rain in sight (I think it's over) and beings I had to go out of the house and getting my second rabies shot at the local hospital , I thought to myself "it's a great day for a ride thru the Sai Yok valley and for a ride to see Kat at the Bamboo School and to visit a couple of ladies that were there from my home state of North Carolina." As I was driving thru the valley that movie and the title poped into my head and I started to look at all the beauty around me and it took me twice as long to get to the School than normal because, I was stopping evey few miles to take some pictures of my valley and the little mountains that seen to grew up put of nowhere that I wanted to share with you ,the readers of Retired In Thailand and Loving It. Also I wanted to show you a few more of the reasons I love it here in the LOS.
Was a great visit with Kat and the ladies and I got to hold the little baby girl that was left for Kat , she has doubled her weight and now weights five pounds. She is such a cutie and loves to be held , I think all babies do , and of course she had to pee pee on Grand-pa malcolm , Kat said not to worry she had a diaper on . Lots of folks are coming for medical help to the Bamboo Hospital and Kat has her hands full running the School , taking care of all the kids needs and schooling , and loving and caring for them and now as the head nurse at the little clinic , I don't know how she does it , but she seems to live for the School , the kids and now the hospital ., the people in the villages are soooooo,blessed to have her there , while I was there ,she was loading up medical supplies and was getting ready to go to a jungle village and have a health day for them , helping those she can there and bringing others back to the clinic for follow up , cleaning and putting bandges on cuts and sores and giving out advise and lessons on health and welfare, and adding a little of Gods word and prayers to those that ask why she loves and cares sooooooo much .

Hope you enjoy the pictures and that it brings back a few good memories of maybe the place you grew up are maybe even the place you live now , take a look around you and see all the beauty, and for those that live in the city , maybe its time for a drive out to the valley for some fresh air and a look to see How Green is Your Valley.

And as always you're always welcome here in Whang Pho and we'll be glad to take you a drive thru our Valley. Malcolm
