Mothers Day Party

Friday was Mother's Day (Queen's Birthday) so we took my mother-in-law to the Landmark Hotel and had an eight or so course Chinese meal. It was very expensive but, what the heck, my mother-in-law is 96!



This is the group that attended the party.



At around eight in the evening the hotel had a drawing for some prizes. Our two tables won two of the prizes. No big deal. One was some beauty stuff and the other was for a perm or something at their local beauty shop.



We left the hotel around nine. On the way out we stopped to visit with the lovely lady playing the harp. She is from Shanghai and was surprised that my wife and I could speak Chinese. Of course, I told her that this whole family was Chinese with my mother-in-law coming from China when she was around twelve or so. Another pleasant evening out in Bangkok.
