Value

Hi,

A cloudy morning turned into a beautiful, hot day. The yard got a facelift, the travelers went sightseeing and there was ballet class.

'Easy Monday' was just that for some of you. Maybe these lyrics will jar something inside. I know you know it.
"Like a true nature's child, we were born, __ __ __ __, we can climb so high I never want to die. __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __," Clue: The group's name is the title of a famous novel. The song became an anthem of sorts, for breaking away and living life to it's fullest. Hmm.

It was only fitting that the yard crew came the day after the storm trashed the grounds. They did a great job of cleaning things up and then doing their usual manicuring of everything. I still can't believe how hard they work in the blazing sun. We had them put dirt in all the beds to cover up the rocks that both dogs love to chew. We haven't had a chance to see if it works yet, but tomorrow we'll find out.

The dogs always get a little stir crazy on the days when the yard gets done since they have to stay inside. In the past we've let BamBam out and after she stops barking at them she tries to get them to play and it's a big distraction. Daku would just go out and make friends with everybody. His size makes him a little scary to people who aren't used to big dogs so we just keep him inside. If they only knew what a sweetheart he is.

Blue, Ming and Andi went down to Wat Rong Khun today. It was Andi's first time seeing the 'White Temple' and Ming hadn't seen it since the renovations. There's always something new to see when visiting the complex. Tonight they're at the Night Bazaar for a little strolling and looking. Tomorrow we're going south to Mae Soi to see the Doi Chaang coffee plantation and see what it's all about. I'll have plenty to tell you tomorrow.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

Peace,
Danny
