Seriously

Hi,

The rain continues, off and on but the days are still beautiful. We've been to the market, the pool, and the vet. We've hung out with friends, and made plans to take a trip for our anniversary.

A few of you knew that our 'Old School' song was "Over The Mountain" by Jonnie & Joe. Some of you have complained that the 'Easy Monday' songs were too easy. This week we'll start with the first verse and see how easy it comes to you: "Why do you keep comin' around playin' with my heart? Why don't you get out of my life, and let me make a brand new start? Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me..." Hint: This supremely popular trio became icons in the 60's. The title is in five words, and it has to do with someone not letting go.

Most of the weekend was a combination of clouds, and sunshine. Fortunately each day seemed to give us a window of opportunity to take a dip in the pool.

With Boot in Rayong for the week, we had to do a little marketing for ourselves. We go to the 'little market' for chicken, fish, and vegetables. The vendors know us now and it's very pleasant to shop. The 'big market' is mainly where we go for 'shopping', and treats. There are a lot more choices for some food items, but most of it we don't eat.

During our travels we saw an unusual sight. At an intersection on the Super Highway there is a vacant lot. While sitting at a traffic light I looked over and saw a small white horse. It was tethered, so it belongs to someone, but it just seemed so out of place. We don't see many horses around here so it was especially curious, and intriguing. Hmm.

We have our 40th anniversary coming up so we decided to do something special. Last year we went south to the city of Krabi, and stayed on the Andaman Sea. This year we're going to go on our first island adventure. People have been telling us about the beauty of Koh Lanta so we did some research. There is a resort that I found that looks amazing so we booked three nights. We'll be going down there on the 17th of this month, and returning on the 20th. There are long stretches of white beaches, a rain forest, and a marine park. You can check out the place we're staying at: http://www.layanaresort.com/index.php

Mr. Daku is going through another 'allergic reaction', according to the vet. This time it's at the base of his tail so he has to wear one of those collars, which he hates. Because he's so big, we have to keep him in the kitchen where he can't crash into anything breakable. It's thrown all of us off a bit. BamBam is upset, and we miss having him upstairs with us. Hopefully it will clear up soon, and he can be 'free'.

Have a Great Week.

Peace,
Danny
