Friday Funnies

Hi,

Well, it seems that Mr. Lag is not completely done with having his way with us.  There are still times when we just fall asleep, without even trying, or wake up hours before the alarm.  

The ‘Zany Day’ song was “Charlie Brown” by The Coasters.  ‘Old School Friday’ will be easy for some.  
“__ __ __?  I have seen you before.  __ __ __?  May I walk you to your door?  It’s so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me, Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ee.  __ __ __?  Is it Mary or Sue?  __ __ __?  Do I stand a chance with you?  It’s so hard to find a personality….”  Hint:  Sung by a male duo, asking the introductory question. 

Today’s experience with taking down the exhibit was nothing like we imagined.  We were told that the crew at Art Bridge would take the works off the walls and wrap them.  When we arrived at 12:30pm, that part of the job was done and they were having lunch.  We hung out and relaxed, which was good timing since I was having an ‘episode’ with my pain thing.  Then we were told that they would load the work into the van.  Wonderful.  We had planned on making two trips to the house since all the work wouldn’t fit.  Khun Poy, the gallery manager, told us that they would load the remaining art into the gallery van and follow us home.  When we got to the house the two young men brought everything inside and it was over.  We didn’t have to lift or carry anything.  What a great way to end it all.  

There is some kind of celebration going on in our neighborhood that we know nothing about.  Yesterday a marching band from the local school did their thing on the main road.  This afternoon BamBam went crazy, barking at the remains of a lantern that landed in our yard, and tonight there are fireworks going off behind us.   We just never know when something like this is going to happen.  It keeps life interesting (555).

Friday nights in Chiang Rai are ‘going out’ nights.  On the road into town we passed several restaurants and they all appeared to be full.  We’re still in the High Season, but these were places that are not on the tourist lists, just local eateries.  It’s nice to see that business is good.  The new restaurant that was the ‘Soul House’ and then became the ‘Safe House’, now has both signs up, so we don’t know what to call it.  Maybe it will become the ‘Safe Soul House’.

Today’s photo was taken on the way to Chiang Rai.  We were approaching the southern end of the area when I took this one. 


Have a Wonderful, Long WeekEnd.    It’s time for the ‘Funnies’.

                  Peace,
