Hi,
We had quite a weekend here in Chiang Rai. Friends came to lunch, followed by a rain storm, and a family enjoyed the pool. The dogs were very 'social' through the whole thing.
The 'Old School Friday' song was "Blue Moon" as recorded by The Marcels. It's 'Easy Monday' time. Remember this?:
"Meet me in the playground at a quarter to four, wait 'til everybody's long gone. There must be so many things that we can explore, maybe I can walk you home. If it starts to rain, we can take some shelter. I'd like to hold your little hand. My heart is spinning like a helter-skelter. We'll get to know each other if we can. She said hey, wait a minute, hold on. She said hey, just a little bit, hold on..." Hint: A song about young love by a more than average band.
Saturday we had our friends Noy and Susan over for lunch. They are the couple who grow the delicious hydroponic lettuce up in Mae Chan. We spent hours talking about everything under the sun. They left just as the wind started blowing and then the rain came. Things blew around the yard but it didn't last too long. I guess there was no Walking Street that night.
Sunday morning we took Boot to the airport for her flight to Bangkok. From there she got a bus to Rayong. We did a little shopping and then got ready for our swimming guests. Plah and Ghee, who we met through The Sold Project, came over with five kids of varying ages. The kids have been swimming in the river every day and the chance to swim in a pool was an exciting prospect. They had a great time playing games and swimming. At one point Ghee had them dive for coins and that proved to be one of the more popular activities. After their swim we sat around and ate fruit and then the kids went up to see Lisa's studio. The last time they were at the house we asked Ghee if he could make us a BBQ grill. He arrived on Sunday with a cute little mini version of an oil-drum BBQ. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

We stayed in Sunday evening and watched the Formula One race from Bahrain. Today we went into town and got a few things done, like shopping at the vegetable market. Lisa made a great lunch and a delicious dinner. So far, we're doing fine on our own but we miss Boot.
Have a Great Week.
Peace,
Danny
