Hi,

The weather is more of the same. In a way, there's something nice about the predictability. We spent time doing things in town today, and had time to plant a tree cutting.

I guess everyone is over at Facebook, or mobbing the sales. Lisa was the only one to respond to 'Easy Monday'.
"And when I touch you I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide. Yeah, you've got that something, I think you'll understand... __ __ __ __ __ __." Clue: The word hand is mentioned quite a bit in this song. That's all I'm sayin'. So easy.

We met our friend Jaffee at the bamboo store this morning to help us bring our table home in a truck. Once the table was delivered, we left the house and went back into town. This time we went to the bank and the fruit market. There are certain times in the morning when there's a lull, and places are not busy. I guess it's between the morning rush and the lunch time thing. As we were leaving the bank we spotted a chair by the curb. On the chair was a plastic wash basin and on top of that was a grill with parts of a cut up fish. I can only assume that they were drying the fish. OK, couldn't pass up the opportunity so I went back, looked around, and took a picture with my phone.

Today Boot's good friend La has been helping her with the various things she does around the house. Her plan is to have La take care of us when she goes on vacation to Rayong. La was the woman who came to interview with us back in October of 2007 when we moved into the rental house. Boot came with her because she spoke some English. Boot has been with us since that day. Funny how things work sometimes.

After lunch and a short nap we went to the nursery to get some dirt for a cutting of a flowering tree that Jaffee gave us. We have one in the back and wanted one for the front. While at the nursery we also got a poincettia to take to our friend Joyce. Lisa found a nice pot and then we went to the woman with the plants. I should tell you that the nursery is a big plot of land with many vendors. Some just sell pottery, others have exotic plants and arrangements, and some sell planting supplies. The woman with the poincettias planted ours in the pot we bought and then added wood chips and topped it off with white rocks. When we asked her what she wanted for the planting she said 'Nothing'. The whole visit was about $4.50 for everything. We took the plant to Joyce and she was very surprised. She set it by the front door of the guest house.

Back at the house, we got out all our planting tools and set the little tree in the ground. It seems that La knows a lot about plants and she gave us a tip about the depth that was important. Now it's just a matter of time. The tree in the back has been growing very fast and we're hoping the cutting in front will do the same.

Have a Happy Tuesday.

Peace,
Danny
