Hi,
Chiang Rai had another day with heavy cloud cover all day. We had a brief bit of sun in the afternoon and then a 10 minute downpour. It was a day of road trips and gallery updates.
Well, Christopher was the only reader to get Cool Points for knowing "Dr. Funkenstein" by Parliament. In an effort to make 'Old School Friday' a little more 'kid friendly' I'm moving it forward in time, just a bit. This one is from 1962 and I just know you remember this: "__ __ __, is it Mary or Sue? __ __ __, do I stand a chance with you? It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me. Ooh-ooh wee, ooh wee, ooh wee." Hint: Another one of those musical questions that is timeless. Can you name that tune?
This morning we picked up our friend Lisa and her son Jack and drove north to the frame factory of Khun Tawd. Both Lisas had artwork to be framed and it was the first time our friends had been to the facility. Jack is almost 4 years old and commented on the 'massive mountains' in the background as we drove through flat, rice growing areas. We explored some of the statues and fiberglass elephants that stand around on the grounds of the factory. After all the wood selections were made and the styles determined, we started back to town. We stopped at one field where they were harvesting the rice. It was time for a photo shoot. The workers waved to us and when they saw little Jack they became very enthusiastic. It was a fun moment.
Rice Harvest
This afternoon I drove out to the eastern region of Chiang Rai to New Life Foundation. I saw more expanses of rice fields and a 'massive lake'. One of the things that fascinates me is the 'purpose built' vehicles that are used for farming and hauling of crops. I'll try and take some photos in the future to show you some of these odd wonders.
We now have current works of our resident artist hanging in our bedroom, in her studio, and in the hallways. When we're finished it will be like living in an exhibition. It's great having vibrant colors on the walls. Taking the work out of the crates makes it like a reunion with old friends.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for a redo of some 'Funnies'.
Peace,
Danny
