Freedom

Hi,

There were forecasts of thundershowers for today, but none appeared.  That worked out fine for our busy day.  Besides, we just got the van washed and I had no plans to take it out in the rain (555).

This week's 'Zany Day' song is getting some action.  Here's another verse from this seasonal novelty hit:
"Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring.  Seems he was troubled by just one thing.  He opened the lid, and shook his fist and said, 'Whatever happened to the Transylvania twist?'.  It's now the __, it's now the __ __, the __ __, and it's a graveyard smash...." Hint:  Do you really need a hint about this one-hit wonder?  

Our morning adventure took us to the Talat (the main market) where we searched for bedspread material.  As is usually the case, we found what we were looking for at our favorite store.  We have purchased a lot of material over the years and have a great rapport with the owner.  He and his wife have two fabric stores on either side of a main aisle.  One day I had a long conversation with his father, who told me about coming to Thailand from India a long time ago, and how much he loves it here.  He also has a cousin who has another type of shop in the market. 

We made a few more stops around town and then it was almost time to pick up Cat from The Brain.  That's when we turned onto the street with the row of nurseries.  I sat in the van while Blue took photos of flowers and Lisa looked at plants.  The next thing I knew, Lisa was standing by the window with a tree.  We now have a new little pine tree to add to our collection.  

Today's photo is from Baan Dam.  What looks like giant silver mushrooms are actually woks.  Each wok has three metal rods for the legs and it opens the door for the imagination to fly.


This afternoon we made a return trip to Arisara for a massage.  In a perfect world, a massage would happen just before bed time.  As it is, we left the place at 4pm feeling like a nap was in order.  Hmm.  

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

              Peace,
                        Danny
