The Date

The family table on a January evening, Tee's wedding to Bee on the calendar: we've chosen, the last Saturday of January; the morning in Nonthaburi, the evening here; and what if it rains? Mom, in January it doesn't rain; what if Grandma won't go to Nonthaburi? suppose I take her; what if the pier is too small? then we set the tables on the boats: what if, and suppose.
