Struggle

Hi,

The sky was clear, the breeze was mild, and we had no idea that tonight we’d be in the midst of a big thunder and lightning storm.  The sunset was spectacular.  This time of year brings awesome endings to the days.  

This week’s ‘Easy Monday’ song is about realizing too late, what was there.  “Never seen the moonlight through your hair, til now.  Never heard the sweet things you could say, til now.  After all the time we spent together, just doesn’t seem fair at all.  __ __ __ __.”  Clue:  A key word in the title has been sung in the chorus.

Yesterday Cat spent the morning with us.  We went to Chivit Tamma Da and she had what she thought would be shrimp with noodles on the side.  What she got was six giant prawns in a bowl of Tom Yum soup with spicy noodles in a little bowl with a round bottom.  That little bowl kept spinning and rolling, not ideal, but it worked.  After Chivit, we went to see about getting her some glasses for working at her computer.  The third year of college has brought a lot more work, and eye fatigue is now an issue.  It turns out that the special blue-blocking lens should do the trick.  We ordered a pair that will be fashionable enough for use at home (555).  

Today we went out in search of a larger cabinet for the outside kitchen.  Chopper has been taking things off the counters and low cabinets and ‘playing’ with them.  This morning there was a bag of onions divided between two yards.  I can’t imaging them being much fun, but he messed with them.  There is a place that used to make just what we need, but when we got there, their focus was elsewhere.  Global House, one of the five Home Depot style stores didn’t have what we need.  We’re going to take a photo and re-do our tour of shops.  

Today’s photo was taken at Global House.  This is just one of the aisles devoted to PVC items.  This is just fittings for ‘plumbing’.  That word is not used, but that’s what it is.  Blue is for water, yellow for electric.  There is also white, but I’m not sure what that’s for.  Always more to learn (555).

This evening we finished our list of grown-up things to do this month.  We got our teeth cleaned (Yea).  

Have a Happy Tuesday.

                         Peace,

                                   Danny
