Insides

 Hi,

We’re in another weather loop and we’re not complaining.  All of the warm jackets are back on the coat rack for the morning time, and the light clothes at the front of the closet.  Ready!

The ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ tune has been a charted hit many times by many artists.  The music was  written in 1940, and the lyrics in ’42.  It’s a jazz standard for sure.  “Darling, I guess my mind’s more at ease, but, nevertheless, why stir up memories.  Been invited on dates.  Might have gone but what for.  Awfully different without you, __ __ __ __ __.”  Clue:  You’ll find the writer if you ‘Take the A Train’ to Sugar Hill.  The satin doll can give you directions.

Our normally quiet evening has been interrupted by the sound of firecrackers.  Our neighbors are ‘practicing’ for tomorrow’s celebration of Chinese New Year.  

This was our ‘Stay at home’ day.  After a lazy morning and a wonderfully warming soup, JaiDee got a bath.  We waited until the air temperature was warm enough to have a drying effect.  Once he was past the dripping stage, and inside the house, a hair dryer was used.  I’m the designated giver of treats to keep him calm.  TongTong stays right by my side, wanting treats as well.  

We always go out into the yard after dinner for lessons in the art of playing.  TongTong gets leash lessons and JaiDee is learning to be a retriever (555).  There is also some strolling involved.  While on the daylight walk I snapped these photos of the latest orchids in our yard.




Tomorrow will be a busy day.  It’s the day I will have completed 78 times around the sun while hanging on to this planet.  We’ll hit The Wanderer in the morning for coffee/breakfast with friends, a dinner at the mall with old friends, and end up back at The Wanderer for one of their month-end after hours parties.  

Have a Thrilling Thursday.  

                               Peace,
                                         Danny
