Hi,
We had a wonderful weekend. The paving stone project was completed, and we celebrated 42 years together on Sunday. In between all that there was plenty of rain.
'Old School Friday' was The Temptations singing "I Wish It Would Rain". Ha, not me. 'Easy Monday' should be a snap: "People say I'm the life of the party because I tell a joke or two. Although I might be laughing, loud and hearty, deep inside I'm blue. So take a good look at my face, you'll see my smile looks out of place. If you look closer it's easy to trace __ __ __ __ __..." Hint: It's won't take a bloodhound to follow this singer in his misery.
Saturday morning I noticed some activity outside the gate. I heard voices and saw feet and motorbike wheels and knew someone was trying to get in. It was Khun Nung and his crew and they were ready to finish the work they started. The heavy rain the night before made it impossible for them to work on their regular job, so we got a break. We weren't expecting them for another week. They got more materials, found the little rocks we wanted for in-between the big stones, and now we have a mud-free pathway on the side of the house. An added plus is the fact that the dogs don't like to run on the new path. They stick to the concrete apron next to the house.
For our anniversary this year we decided to just go out to dinner. We went to Central Plaza and dined at Fuji Japanese Restaurant. When we first entered the parking area we were surprised at how full it was for a Sunday evening. Inside it seemed like most of the restaurants were busy and lots of people were strolling around. After dinner we wanted to go to Tops Market to see if there was any celery. If you recall, last year it was also scarce. On our way, we went to the theater section just to see if it was crowded. There were people checking out the attractions, and others hanging out in the lounge area. The most expensive ticket was $6, which makes a night at the movies a much cheaper proposition than in the States. We still haven't gone to see anything, but some of the coming attractions looked like possibilities.
As we were leaving the mall, we passed a scene that we just had to share. There was a clown making balloon animals for children. It's a universal thing that seems to be irresistible.
Balloon Magic
Tomorrow morning we start the day with teeth cleaning by Dr. Oy. The Thai word for tooth sounds a lot like 'fun' (555). Oh, what fun.
Have a Great Week.
Peace,
Danny
