Hi,
What began as a 'post card' kind of day soon shifted to stormy weather. Oh well, it's still the rainy season. Tomorrow night, more is on the way in inches.
'Easy Monday' was "Ooh Baby Baby" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Time for a 'Zany Day' song you might know.
"Oh, flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C., didn't get to bed last night. On the way the paper bag was on my knee, man I had a dreadful flight. I'm __ __ __ __ __ __ __. You don't know how lucky you are boy, __ __ __ __ __ __ __. "
Clue: Four of the seven blanks are initials for something or is it some place?.
This morning we had a little 'ball drama' during doggie play time. Yesterday, Daku's yellow ball went into the bushes and was lost. This morning Lisa took a slightly larger pink ball for him to chase and he loved it. The problem was, so did BamBam. She would not chase her beloved red ball at all. She wanted the pink one. Finally, Lisa pretended to throw the pink ball in the bushes and then told BamBam to go find it. This is her specialty, hunting down the balls in the bushes. It took some trying, but she finally found Daku's yellow ball. Tomorrow we'll see if they will both chase their own balls, or insist on the pink one.
We spent much of the morning filling in events and things on the calendar. Things are picking up, with appointments, lunches, coffees, and a party. I called Toyota to schedule service on our Vios and had to wait for them to call back with someone who spoke English. That's when I discovered that Monday is a holiday. It's The Queen's birthday, as well as 'Mother Day'. This is a very big holiday in Thailand and mothers are celebrated in many ways. In Bangkok, mothers and their children will travel around town for free on the SkyTrain. Hmm.
We met our friend Jaffee at Doi Chaang for a meeting this afternoon and saw other friends in the process. Our friend Supat told us how property prices were rising, and Khun Noot, the owner of Doi Chaang has been experimenting with making a non-dairy cake for us. We usually see someone we know when we're there and it gives it a nice community vibe.
On the way home we drove through the main business district. Today's photo shows what happens when one has to move a lot of boxes in one trip. He had to be careful making the turn, for obvious reasons.
It's clearly time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
