Fear

Hi,

Our weather today was not what was forecast.  There was light rain almost all day.  It was supposed to stop at 11am and stay stopped until late tonight.  Ha!  It never stopped.

The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “Fixing A Hole” by The Beatles.  It’s time for another episode of ‘Jazzy Wednesday’.  “Them that’s got shall get, them that’s not shall lose, so the Bible says and it still is news.  Mama may have, Papa may have, but __ __ __ __ that’s got his own.”  Hint:  From 1941, this classic blues/jazz tune was co-written and sung by a woman who was a legend during the 40’s.  Should be easy to recognize, many covers through the years.

The morning began like most, with after-breakfast coffee on the front porch with the dogs.  It was lightly raining so there wasn’t much ‘yard action’.  We took JaiDee for a walk and then to coffee at Work@Home.  Katai was there and she and JaiDee had some nice together time.  He wanted to eat a chair and then a table, but we put a stop to that.  We might go back on Saturday if Towan is back in town.

We had this little plan to drive up to Mae Chan, about 40 minutes north of Chiang Rai, to have lunch at a place we’d never been to.  When it became clear that the rain wasn’t about to stop, we decided to stay local.  We lunched at Sabroso (Mexican food) and it was enough.  Sometimes that’s the key, what is enough?

This evening we had dinner at Chivit Thamma Da with our dear friend Sutheera.  Lisa had written the owner last night and told him of our anniversary and reserved a table.  When we arrived there was a corner table with a beautiful table ‘runner’, a candle stick and red flowers.  The servers were very attentive and it felt special.  After our meal, they brought three little plates and we knew a surprise was coming.  It was a unique dessert based on a bed of meringue, topped with assorted fruit.  

Below is the table setting and dessert at Chivit Thamma Da.  

By the time we got home, JaiDee was in ‘sleepy mode’ and Natcha had baked a batch of cookies.  Life is good.

Feels like a Wacky Wednesday.       Wear a mask anyway!

                          Peace,

                                    Danny
