If

Hi,
Today we got mail, bamboo and more fencing. The pool days are warmer and so is the pool. If I didn't know better I'd think it was summer.
Looks like our current group has some fans out there. A special song can certainly rattle the cages and bring forth mail from folks I haven't heard from in a while. For those of you on the fence, here's the chorus and the place for the hook. Good luck.
"Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down. Letting the days go by, water flowing underground. Into the blue again after the money's gone. __ __ __ __, water flowing underground." Clue: It's about life on several levels.
A few months ago I made little fences around some of the flower bed to keep BamBam out. She has taken up rock hunting and this has led her to forage around the edges of the beds. In order to discourage her I need to widen the perimeter. My big plan is to use slender bamboo for the stakes to keep the motif started by Rene and the dog run. The wire has rusted so I'm replacing that as well. Now I just have to do it. (Ha)
Mr. Handyman went out to the front gate to secure the wireless doorbells (kept falling off the wall) with some concrete nails. These little things are amazing. I found out about them during the building of the house. Since I don't have a cordless drill, it was a simple solution to just nail them to the wall. I'm going to try them in the house for picture hanging. "I love it when a plan comes together." For special commendation name the T.V. show where that phrase was commonly used. Bonus for the character.
It looks like tomorrow will be the day we slip into the pool for the first time this season. The temperature is not ideal, but warm enough if we actually swim. (5) I think we got spoiled swimming at the Culver City YMCA's heated indoor pool. If tomorrow works out we'll just get used to cold water workouts. Time will tell.
The big news was in the mailbox. When I went out to fix the doorbells I noticed a pink slip of paper in the box. We had a package waiting at our not so local P.O. in Ban Du. After a 10 minute drive north we entered the P.O. and took a number. The automated voice kept calling numbers but no one approached the counter so Lisa went up and showed the man the slip of paper. We were taken to the 'back room' where all the action is. There were several desks and at the one we went to a young man was stamping pages in books. He couldn't be bothered and just pointed. An older man came to over to help us. While the man searched for the right book to have us sign we noticed an open bay door with a mail truck back up to the dock. In addition to the usual mail there were two motorbikes being unloaded. They were bound in bubble wrap and had apparently been 'mailed' to someone. Hmm. Finally the man returned with our package. It was a copy of Blue's book "Faces in the Golden Triangle".
The book is absolutely beautiful. Blue has assembled some of the most intriguing faces you will ever see. From young children to old men and women, there is a sense of something very deep. There is a history lesson, stories and captions that make this more than just a picture book. It's an experience. Be sure to take a look at the sample pages and you may want to add this to your collection. http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/378955/b5206baeaff1cfa263d3886e315ae894
Have a Warm Thursday.

Peace,
Danny
