Secret

Hi,
Well, back from the weekend of no mail. It seems nobody, except Lisa, remembered "Raindrops", by Dee Clark. You remember, "Raindrops, falling from my eyes..." Oh well, it was bound to happen. Since there's been so much rain in California lately, how about another rain song?
"Strolling along country roads with my baby, it starts to rain, it begins to pour. Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine, I feel the warmth of her hand in mine. Ooooo, I hear __ __ __ __, walking hand in hand with the one I love..."
Clues: He reminded us that breaking up was hard to do and laughed all the way to the bank. There's two clues in there, really.
We did our usual routine on Sunday. Went over to the 'Chicken Guy' and got a half for lunch, then ate at the NB and cruised around. We actually changed things up a bit and went over to the Wiang Inn and caught our friend Freddie in the lobby lounge. Oh, before dinner we had a massage.
Today we got a call from Boot, saying that she wouldn't be coming in. She had taken a neighbor to the hospital Sunday night and hadn't slept much. So, we were on our own. We managed to struggle through. (Ha) We went downtown for lunch and had a disappointing meal at what used to be one of our favorite spots. It seems that with prices going up on some food items, portions are smaller and, for some reason, quality is slipping. Another plus for eating at home. One of the items on the menu was 'Duck leg with five herbs'. We couldn't help laughing.
Tomorrow is the day for our three month VISA check in. Some of you may remember the comedy three months ago when we went to the police station to check in and they knew nothing about it. This time, we've got the forms, so we're going to try it again. If it doesn't work, we'll just hop in the truck and drive up to Mae Sai and go to the immigration office.
The Place is growing rapidly. The workers have started on the boxes for the concrete beams for the second floor. Next week, the pool people are supposed to start working on our 'cooling spot'. The plan calls for one end to be what's known as an 'infinity edge', which will feed into a waterfall in the corner. The waterfall will empty into a little pond with a bench, for sitting. I can hardly wait. We're going with a deep, deep blue for the pool. Stay tuned.
Have a Great Week.

Peace,
Danny

"The secret of life is to make the best of whatever comes along.
Make each day fresh and new.
Go in search of knowledge and experience.
Let your questions and your answers reconcile.
And do your best to remember...
The best kind of learning curve is an enlightened smile."
