Friday Funnies

Hi,

It was just a matter of time.  After all the showers and brief downpours, the big finale came this afternoon, complete with big lightning, ‘heavy metal thunder’, wind and lots of rain.  The front yard had a little river in just a few minutes.  The aftermath was as if it never happened.  No damage, no flooding, no foul.

This week’s ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ tune was “God Bless the Child” by Billie Holiday.  Once again, the ‘Jazzy’ tune has been so Old School that I hesitate to do it again on Friday.  So, here’s some 'Random Goodness' for ya:

“Well, it’s not far down to paradise, at least it’s not for me, and if the wind is right we can sail away, find tranquility.  Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see, believe me… __ takes me away to where I heard it could be.  Just a dream and the wind to carry me, and soon I will be free.”  Hint:  There is water involved.

We went to The Wanderer again this morning.  The whole scene was very mellow until we were leaving.  JaiDee and Joey spotted each other and both began pulling on their leashes.  Khwan had a firm grip on Joey so Lisa let JaiDee go and he ran straight to him.  It’s only been about a week, but it was a reunion befitting a 10 year gap.  There wasn’t time for them to run and play so we had to drag him off (555).  

JaiDee is a great ‘car dog’.  By that, I mean he likes to ride and doesn’t mind waiting.  We went downtown to the post office and he and I sat in the van while Lisa went inside.  He looked around, noticed the foot traffic and was just cool.  When we got home, he and TongDee hung out, which is becoming a regular thing.  Before we went to coffee, Natcha took them out and they did the closest thing to playing so far.  They basically chase each other.  The fact that she’s willing to participate is a huge improvement.  

Today’s photo is the flowers that the twins gave to Lisa at our ‘Anniversary Lunch’ yesterday.

With all that’s going on in the world, there is a touch of the 60’s here in Thailand.  Simply, to quote a Beach Boys song title:  “Student Demonstration Time”.  I won’t get into it, but you can read all about it in the papers.

We’ve been reading about the fires in California with concern.  Once again, so weird to be so far away.  All we can do is try to connect with friends and hope they are alright.  

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.          Time for the ‘Funnies’ and your mask.   

                         Peace,
