Hi,
Everywhere we go, the talk is about the weather. From bank tellers to treat vendors, everyone is cold. Hey, this is a tropical climate, most of the time. It's supposed to be a few degrees warmer tonight and we're thrilled.
Day two of the 'Zany Day' song brought more memories back and more right answers. The song was "Long, Tall Sally" by Little Richard. Time for 'Old School Friday'. "Oh, it's __ __ again, you're gonna leave me. I can see that far away look in your eyes. I can tell by the way you hold me darlin'. Oooh, that it won't be long before it's __ __" Hint: Clearly a sad 'Love is over' song by a legendary singer often referred to as a 'Genius'. What'd you say?
Today we ventured into the Talat (market place) to look for warm things and get some treats. Parking the car is always entertaining since the 'Ticket Ladies' are so helpful with their hand gestures. I was backing into a space and she motioned me back and then gracefully twirled her hand in the direction I should turn the wheel. The usual cast of characters were there, including the blind singer and the women on the floor selling things we would never eat. The abundance of the color red made it clear that Chinese New Year was close and the marketing was strong for anything to do with the holiday. We stopped at a shoe shop that was nothing short of chaotic. They have hundreds of shoes stacked to the ceiling in a very small space and seem to know where everything is. The husband is a very cordial guy with a big smile and his wife is strictly business with no expression and few manners. The two of them, plus a helper, had about four customers in progress when we arrived. Somehow we managed to find some comfortable shoes and get out without too much trauma (555). A bag of treats and we were on our way home.
After lunch we took Daku on an adventure in the van. We went to a place that Gary, of Jago and Gary, told us about yesterday during a doggie play-date. There is a big lawn near the river where he takes Jago for walks. Daku is still a stranger to the outside world so he's eager to just run crazy. There are too many possibilities to let him run wild so we kept him on his leash. Today's outing was a training session and a chance for him to get used to being away from home. What's interesting is that he was eager to get into the van, but as soon as we turned left out of the driveway he started whimpering. We were going towards the vet and that meant poking and stuff. He calmed down quickly and then revved up when we arrived at our destination. We want to be able to take him places without having him tugging on the leash the whole time. A few times a week for a few weeks and we think he'll be more relaxed.
Today I give you another photo from the Flower Festival that could have been in the Rose Parade. This big pink guitar is covered in flowers.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Now it's time for the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
