Future

Hi,

We seem to be in a light-weight version of the rainy season.  Lots of little showers, occasional downpours, but no thunder and lightning.  The forecast for this week calls for lots of rain so we’ll see.

The ‘Old School Friday’ tune was “Blue Monday” by Fats Domino.  This ‘Easy Monday’ song should be just that:

“If you see me walking down the street, and I start to cry, each time we meet.  __ __ __, __ __ __.  Make believe that you don’t see the tears, just let me grieve in private, ‘cause each time I see you I break down and cry, and __ __ __ (don’t stop)…”  Hint:  This singer had a long string of hits by a pair of prolific writers.  I think you know it.

Saturday, while we were at the Healthy Market, Lisa spotted a florist working on what looked like a work of art.  We walked around to his stall where he had just finished the arrangement.  He was pleased that we wanted to take a photo.

In the evening Cat decided she wanted Lisa to do her hair and make-up for the big dance show on Sunday.  They did a trial run but were not happy with some of the make-up materials.  That meant a Sunday morning run to Big C.

They were successful and when it was all finished, we were all very pleased.

Sunday was a big day for all of us.  The timing of things got crazy until we worked it out.  When we arrived at the mall, there was a giant crowd on the second level, waiting for the show to begin.  We found couches at a Doi Chaang Coffee shop that provided a view of the stage in the distance.  We relaxed while listening to small children singing and a few speeches.  A few friends who were in the mall came by and it was nice to know people in such a large crowd.  Parents and relatives of all the participants were waiting for their children to perform.  Some of the group numbers were cute, and a couple of ballet numbers were choreographed by Cat’s teacher, using popular music rather than classical.  It was fun to watch and probably fun to dance to as well.  Imagine a ballet number set to reggae music.  Finally, it was time for Cat’s group, the K-Dance class, to take the stage.  We managed to find different places to watch and take photos.  Blue had his telephoto lens while Lisa and I were taking video with our phones.  The group did a great job and Cat, of course, was the best of the bunch.  When it was over we took pics of her and her sister and friends from The Sold Project.  That evening, she had to study for a math test.  A rather tall order when one is filled with adrenaline.

In January we will have another person living at The Big Brown House.  Natcha and Gong are having a baby, due in January, probably while we are in the States.  The adventure continues.

Have a Great Week.

              Peace,

                        Danny
