Friday Funnies

Hi,

We seem to be back in a 'mini rainy season'.  The entire day was spent behind the walls of The Big Brown House.  

Our 'Zany Day' song was the legendary "Love Potion Number 9" as sung by The Clovers.  Here's an 'Old School Friday' tune to either get you in the mood or annoy you for hours after it gets stuck in your head:
"__ __ __ __ __ at the Christmas party hop.  Mistletoe hung where you can see ev'ry couple tries to stop.... You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear, voices singing 'Let's be jolly; deck the halls with boughs of holly'.  __ __ __ __ __ have a happy holiday.  Everyone's dancing merrily in a new old fashioned way."  Hint:  There's dancing and plant life involved.

This time of year we usually don't get storms like the one we had this morning.  It started as a light shower but soon became a major downpour.  We had another one this afternoon and the yard was so saturated that we had our little lakes.  The dogs were not happy about the storm, but they seem to understand now that when it's raining hard there will be no outside play.  

With just 10 days until we depart for the US, we've been focused on scheduling some of the many lunch, dinner and coffee dates.  There is also the matter of making sure everything is in place here in Thailand.  Next week will be full of lists and errands.  We will also be watching the weather forecasts so we can begin to prepare mentally for what looks like a cold visit.  In a few days I'll bring the luggage upstairs and the dogs will know something is happening.  Leaving them is always one of the harder things about these trips. 


There are several activities here that we are looking forward to in the coming week.  We'll be going to a wedding/ reception and the opening of the Chiang Rai Flower Show.  We usually miss the flowers but this year the opening is earlier so we'll get to enjoy it.  ArtBridge Chiang Rai is also having a major 'member' exhibit that opens on December 25, but we'll miss that.  Lisa has a cast acrylic print that will be part of the exhibit.  We'll get to see that when we return to Thailand.  

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.     Time to Laugh.

              Peace,
                        Danny
