Hi,
The weather in Chiang Rai has decided to mix it up a bit. Hot sunshine plus two rain storms within 24 hours. Today we had a Big C experience and BamBam found new hiding places.
That 'Bad Ass Bass' song you almost remembered was "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass. I must say that a few of you knew it, but I expected more. Hmm. Time for an 'Old School Friday' mind twister: "Now, your daddy don't mind, and your mommy don't mind if we have another dance. Yeah, just one more, one more time. Oh, won't you __, just a little bit longer. Please let me hear you say that you will. Say you will." Hint: Singer wants her to remain for another dance. What's so hard about that? It's also something dogs are prone to ignore.
A Cluster of Orchids in the Yard.
Last night, just as we had turned out the light headed for dreamland, I heard the sound of rain. What? That meant getting up to make sure certain things were brought inside. It was a quiet, windless rain that gave the yard a good watering. This morning the air was nice and clear, and all the plants looked vibrant.
Yesterday evening we got a call from Boot. She had received her monthly call from the 'Spray man' letting her know that they would be at the house at 9am today. We like a little warning so we can bring in things like shoes, dog bowls and beds so they don't get sprayed.
Today we went to Big C, which is a brave thing to do on a Friday morning. Since we didn't arrive early, it was very busy. There were clear signs that school is about to start. One main aisle was devoted to school uniforms in various styles and colors, including shoes. Parents were fitting kids for tops, skirts, shorts and shoes. There was a booth just past the check-out with a monogram machine for some of the uniform tops. Everyone who is 'legal' can go to school, but it costs.
This afternoon I went out to New Life Foundation for my weekly meeting with the residents. About 10 minutes after I'd left I got a call from Lisa saying that the wind was blowing and it looked like rain. When I got to the center, about 40 minutes east of town, the sky was cloudy, but no wind and no sign of rain. When I got home I heard the story of a major storm that blew things around in the yard. There was a lot of heavy rain and thunder, and that's not something BamBam deals with very well. At one point Lisa went upstairs looking for her and couldn't find her. She looked in the closet but didn't see her, but heard her breathing. BamBam had hidden herself in the back of the closet behind a container. No thunder was going to get her.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. On with the 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
