Hi,
The weather here is wonderful. Warm days, cool nights that seem to be getting warmer. We had a busy weekend with several events, a lunch date and a birthday was celebrated.
Our 'Old School Friday' song was "Cowboys to Girls" by The Intruders. Time for another episode of 'Easy Monday'.
"There's a fire starting in my heart, reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out of the dark. The scars of your love remind me of us, they keep me thinking that we almost had it all." Hint: This is a very current song, singer uses just her first name. Oh come on now, easy.
Saturday afternoon we picked up our second set of travelers and brought them to our house. Bob and Joan are also friends of Lisa's step-sister Karen Jo. We hung out for awhile and then went to Gary and Ban's house for Gary's birthday party. We introduced them to our friends, made some new ones and had a delicious dinner. After dinner there was a Thai dance presentation by two young women in traditional garb. As soon as the dancing was over we had to leave for the art opening at Praatap Jai.
We thought we'd be late for the exhibit opening but they were just starting when we arrived. The work consisted of digital photographic art by an American artist. It was all very impressive and we enjoyed it. Our guests had a good time talking with various people at the event. We'll have dinner with Bob and Joan later this week.
Sunday was my birthday and I'm now 69 years old. As we were eating breakfast Boot knocked on the door. When she came in she was carrying a cake with candles lit. That was really cool. Then we called my mom like we usually do and I thanked her for having me. It's something I learned here in Thailand and it felt good to do.
Later in the morning we took Daku to the vets to have his ears checked. He didn't have anything seriously wrong and he seemed to be more comfortable around the doctor.
Our friend Poui and her mother came over for lunch. We heard all about her life in Australia, and the things she's been doing while in town. It's always fun getting together with them and hearing about their adventures. Wednesday they've invited us to lunch in the area where Poui and Jimmy will build their new house. More on that later.
Sunday evening we went to the Night Bazaar for our usual dinner. While talking with Khun Saw, the owner, Lisa mentioned that it was my birthday. When we finished our meal we were surprised with the gift of a fruit platter.
The staff came to the table and wished me happy birthday and we ate as much as we could, even though we were full.
Happy Street is a Sunday night thing that we've been to once, but decided to try again. As we walked through the crowd we were surprised by our friend Tye. She was there with her husband Pong. They were supporting their daughter, Napa, who was part of a group of girls who were collecting money for their school. They all had on traditional outfits, standing in a line calling for donations. It was a fun moment. Our plan was to go and hang out at Praatap Jai but they were closed so we made our way back through the crowd and went home.
It was a wonderful birthday.
Have a Great Week.
Peace,
Danny
