This is because we have migrated to a new server that is more closely integrated with our home here on Don Det. Consequently, you will find an abundance of stories chronicling the trials, tribulations, and delightful experiences of our life on the island. A great place to begin exploring is with the story entitled “How Did We End Up In Laos?” For a more comprehensive understanding of our journey, we recommend starting with the prologue titled, (prologue) The Beginning… It’s All Sugar’s Fault.” Each story contains a link at the end, allowing you to seamlessly continue to the next installment in what we affectionately refer to as “The Book.”
Additionally, we have introduced some fresh T-shirt designs in our online store. These designs showcase both our upcoming album and some beloved L&D classics. The decision to create new shirts stemmed from the desire to offer a wider range of options to our customers.
In the future, I hope to share tips and ideas that have made our “homesteading” life more comfortable. We also feature stories of local customs and experiences, along with a variety of photos, music, and videos that are regularly added. I have even created a “secret page” where I document strange dreams that I manage to write down upon waking, with a flying man playing a prominent role (which apparently would excite Freud!). Although the link may not be immediately obvious, it can be discovered through exploration and clues in this introduction. Additionally, all of our current music albums are now available for sampling. I am genuinely satisfied with the progress so far, but I welcome constructive criticism to improve further. Please feel free to share your thoughts!
