Friday Funnies

Hi,

We're about half way through the Winter visit and things are going well.  

We continue with 'Old School Friday' and a song that some of you knew.  It's one of those slow songs.
"Mother and your father won't like it if I stay here too long.  One kiss in the dark, and I'll be going, you know I hate to go.  __ __, well it's time to go.  __ __, well, it's time to go.  I hate to leave you but I really must say, __, __, __."  Clue:  The group is named for a breed of dog.  The song was featured in 'American Graffiti' and 'Three Men and a Baby'.  I know you've heard it.  

Last night Anna made a pot of delicious chicken soup.  It was just the thing on a cold winter night.  For dessert we had pumpkin pie.  

Breakfast at Dinah's is always a challenge.  What to eat?  With so many choices, ordering can take a while.  Today I played it safe and stayed away from the yummy, gooey stuff and had a simple meal.  The 'best' stuff has milk and butter and that means danger.  (555)  We had a good visit with our friends Pam and Steve hearing about their cruise of the British Isles.  

No trip to the states is complete without a visit to Ross.  In fact, we went to two locations today and there was success.  

We had lunch with our friends Linda and Jaime.  Linda helps us with our car rental needs every time we visit and we are very grateful.  It was our first meal at Thai Boom since we've been back.  It's always good to see Woody and Sunee, the owners, and talk about Thailand and their business.  Our lunch was fun, with lots of talk about lots of things.  We could have stayed longer but there were other things to do.

Have you ever pulled into a parking lot and decided to leave based on the traffic?  That's what happened to us today at Costco.  There was no way we were going to try and find a place, go inside and then stand in line forever. I guess we've been spoiled at Makro and Big C.  (555)

We had a coffee date with Nate and Rachel at 'Cow's End'.  It's a coffee shop near Venice Beach.  Since we got there early we strolled out on the pier.  It's the first time we'd seen the ocean from ground level.  It was a beautiful scene, the tide going out, people playing on the beach, and a general feeling of calm.  We're hoping to get back.  Rachel is the founder of The Sold Project and she and Nate sponsor Cat.  We hadn't seen them in a few years and it was fun catching up and filling them in on how things are going with Cat.  

 Today's photo was taken at Venice Beach from the pier.  Something to remember when the temps rise back in Chiang Rai.  


Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.     Now, the 'Funnies'.

               Peace,
                         Danny

PS  While the system is being wacky, if you don't get a photo, email me and I'll try sending it again.
