Hi,
It looks as though Chiang Rai will get through the entire day without rain. What? Lots of dark clouds coming and going, but nothing dropping on us.
Based on the responses, this really is an 'Easy Monday' tune. Maybe the second verse will help you remember:
"I know your image of me is what I hope to be. I've treated you unkindly, but darlin' can't you see. There's no one more important to me, darlin' can't you please see through me, 'cause we're alone now and I'm singing this __ __ __." Clue: The actual title of this song has four words. It's been sung be hundreds of singers in many styles. If you can't remember the original writer/artist, that's OK.
We spent the day on the compound. It was one of those quiet days where things got done. I did leave the house in the afternoon to pick up Cat from the Song Taew 'Depot' at the big market. On my way, I saw lots of little families on motorbikes, small eating spots doing a brisk business, and people carrying bouquets. Mother Day is the second biggest selling floral holiday after Valentine's Day. If we were to go to the mall, we would have seen families waiting to eat in the nice restaurants, treating moms to a special meal. There were, no doubt, parts of town where it was just another day.
During dinner we heard all about Cat's visit to her village. She spent most of the time with her sister. She told us about going mushroom hunting with her sister and how their three dogs encountered a cobra. The dogs apparently got sprayed in the eyes with venom. They rinsed their eyes but Cat doesn't know what will happen next. She also visited with her uncle, who is a monk. They have a great relationship and besides being a monk, he is the patriarch of the family. Now it's back to the routine of books, tests, and projects. Cat just came upstairs with a Mother Day gift for Lisa. Very Sweet.
Though we didn't get a 'live' view of the Super Moon, our friend Claire gave us the view from Virginia, and Barry sent an L.A. photo, so we feel like we almost know what it was like.
Today's photo will give you an idea of what the Art Bridge exhibit was like. Too much to absorb in one evening.
Since this week actually begins tomorrow (Wednesday), we have a long list of things to do and errands to run.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
