Friday Funnies

Hi,

It was another crazy weather day in the north. We started with sunshine, and blue skies. Then the rain came by for lunch. It rained hard for about 30 minutes, then got pleasant, and stayed that way. We had a party, went to a dinner, and had a very social day.

The song that eluded some of you was "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts. See how you do with 'Old School Friday'. "Well, __ __ __ __ and hold my hand, tell me I'm your lovin' man? Oh baby, __ __ __ __? __ __ __ __ and make romance, squeeze me all through the night, oh baby, __ __ __ __? Clue: This dance tune was a hit in '58. In the title (4 words), the singer is asking an obvious question. Nothing heavy, just trying to get things started. Hmm.

It was touch and go for awhile this afternoon. We weren't sure if the weather would cooperate with our plans to have the pool party. It worked out fine even though we could see what looked like another storm creeping in from the west. Rachel 1, Deirdre, Rachel 2, and Kevin came over for a swim. We had met Rachel 2 briefly at the Night Bazaar last week, but had never met her husband Kevin until today. There we were, six heads sitting on the surface of the water getting to know one another. Rachel 2 and Kevin are here for one year to manage the Sold Project. Rachel 1 will return to the States later this month. After our time in the water, we sat on the patio and had watermelon, and popcorn. It was a nice day for making new friends.

This evening we went to dinner with The Family. We had a table outside under the night sky beside the river, and it was very nice. The air was cool, with a slight breeze. We had an interesting exchange with the head waiter while waiting for our guests. He said a phrase in Thai that he told us means 'wait just a moment'. Lisa ask him about another way we had learned to say it. His reply was: 'That's Bangkok'. What he told us was the Chiang Rai way to say it. Learn something every day.

There were eight of us for dinner and conversation. We had a lot of fun sharing stories, interviewing each other, and talking about many things.

It's time for the 'Funnies', sent in by Cousin Trudye.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.

Peace,
Danny


Tony is 90 years old. He's played golf every day since his retirement 25
years ago.. One day he arrives home looking downcast.

"That's it", he tells his wife. "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight
has gotten so bad that once I've hit the ball I can't see where
it went."

His wife sympathizes and makes him a cup of tea. As they
sit down she says, "Why don't you take my brother Danny
with you and give it one more try."

"That's no good", sighs Tony. "Your brother's a hundred and three. He
can't help."

"He may be a hundred and three", says the wife, "but his
eyesight is perfect".

So the next day Tony heads off to the golf course with his
brother-in-law Danny. He tees up, takes a mighty swing and squints
down the fairway. He turns to the brother-in-law.
"Did you see the ball?"

"Of course I did!" replied the brother-in-law. "I have perfect
eyesight."

"Where did it go?" says Tony.

"I don't remember...
