Hi,
The weekend was great. We had fun meals, saw sights, and I celebrated 24 years of Recovery.
The 'Old School Friday' song was "Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight" by The Spaniels. Time for some 'Easy Monday' with this R&R oldie. "I was born in a cross-fire hurricane, and I howled at my ma in the driving rain, but it's all right now, in fact it's a gas! But it's all right. I'm __ __ __, it's a gas, gas, gas." Hint: One might say it's about a survivor who's been through it all and is bouncing back (in a manner of speaking).
Saturday we had lunch with a charming 4 year old named Leilani. Her parents, Paul and Joy were also there. We hadn't seen Leilani in a year and of course, she's grown a lot and has an amazing vocabulary. It was a good time for all.
In the evening we had a family dinner with The Valley Cousins. We talked for hours and it probably could have gone longer. It was our second Thai meal of the day but and it felt a bit like being at home. All we needed was Boot's cooking. (555) Staying connected to family is one of the main reasons we return twice a year and it feels good.
Sunday was a big day for me. For the 24th year, Lisa and my mom gave me a Recovery Birthday cake at the same morning meeting. I am extremely grateful.
This week is going to be full of reunions with friends from many years ago. It's also our last week in the country and that means planning the packing for the return to Thailand.
Today's photo was taken in the parking lot across from ToysRUs on Sepulveda Bl. The guy was playing a soprano sax for the shoppers.
Have a Great Week.
Peace,
Danny
