Hi,
Here we are, at the end of the proverbial road. All the gifts have been given, most of the visits completed, and sadly, a few friends left to see that won't be seen. It's been a good trip, but it's time to go.
Well, no one has written me with the correct answer to the 'Song of '75', so here's a bit more. Use your dictionary.
"Let it lift you off the ground. Starry eyes and love is all around. I can take you where you want to go. __ __ __, I want to be your partner, can't you see the music is just starting?...." Clue: He's asking her to join him in a terpsichorean exercise. Hmm.
We spent our last full day doing those odds and ends things. We had a wonderful lunch with our dear friend Seth and his wife China. We missed them on our last time over so we had a lot of catching up to do. Some of you will remember Seth from the 'Godfadda Workout'. He told us that the show has finally been put to rest. It was a great run while it lasted. As groupies of the show, it will always hold a place in our hearts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCuMW_jTzmo
A stop by the 99 Cent Store left us wondering what we would buy that we can't get at home. We laughed at the idea that most of it probably came from there. We left with nothing. (555)
We have a friend named Joe who works at Emerald Thai. He just returned from Thailand so we went by to see him. He's still in the midst of jet lag, but he told us about the flower festival in Chiang Mai. He sends us email from time to time to see how we're doing. He and Khun Nid were very concerned when they heard about the recent flooding. It was nice to hear from them and we had a nice visit with them this evening.
Meanwhile, back at the house, we had a nice Thai dinner with Anna. This morning we'll be getting August ready for school and then I'll take him. It will be like 'the old days'.
It has been a joy to see so many friends. The sharing of meals, coffee, and hugs will be fond memories that will last until the next time we visit.
Have a Thrilling Thursday. I'll try to write from Taipei during our layover.
Peace,
Danny

our acts of kindness can create a ripple effect.The long-term effects may be unknown to us,
but the ripples of one wave creating another and another,
to forever impact - that is a definite fact."
