Hi,
Today was a fairly mellow day. The weather is hot with a chance of rain 'nearby'. There is thunder in the background and BamBam is staying close.
'Easy Monday' was a snap: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones. Time to get busy with our 'Zany Day' song:
"Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine, I'm on the pavement thinking 'bout the government. The man in the trench coat badge out, laid off, says he's got a bad cough, wants to get paid off. Look out kid, it's somethin' you did..." Clue: This song has a title with 3 words that are not sung in the song. I still can't tell you what it's about, but I like it.
We are definitely moving toward the 'Hot' season. The days are scorchers and the nights are warming up. The pool has reached 73 F and there's a chance we may break out the wetsuits. There is still the possibility of rain tonight. Everything in the yard could use the water, especially the lawns.
Our upstairs air/con gets a lot of use, even in the winter since we use it when there is burning going on outside. Our friend at Sinthanee, where we bought it, is still surprised that we have them come every three months to service it. If we don't, there is a tube that clogs and water drips inside. For a nominal fee, three guys come and take it apart, clean everything, and test it. Today was the day. Now we're ready for the heat.
The 'Healthy Market' was our sole destination today. Fresh vegetables and fruit and a few laughs with some of the vendors is always nice in the morning. A woman with a stall next to the fruit stand has decided that we are friends. Last week we watched a show on traditional tattooing. Today when she saw me she pointed at her TV and laughed as if when I come by I should check out her TV. Now I have something else to look forward to when we go shopping.
Today's photo is an example of a gift package sold during Chinese New Year as an offering to the ancestors. You will see a fancy dress shirt, a gold watch, an iPhone and a flower, all made of paper for burning. There are many variations, with some containing model houses and furniture.
I'm still reeling from all the birthday well wishes. This has been the best birthday ever. We're having a party on Sunday afternoon and it should be a fun time. Many things to do but we've done it before. (555)
It's time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
to care for somebody else,
you will have succeeded."
