Hi,
The day began with sunny, blue skies. By lunchtime is was starting to cloud up. By dinner time it was raining. That seems to be the pattern here in Chiang Rai. There is a storm that's moving down from China and it's name is Vicente. They're calling it a depression, I guess because all the rain it will bring will be depressing. (555)
'Easy Monday' slipped by a bunch of you. The song was "Laughter In The Rain" by Neil Sedaka. Oh well, the 'Zany Day' is fun even if you don't know it. Some of you may remember this 'Oldie' from the mid 60s.
"I flopped down in my easy chair and turned on channel 2. A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was a-chasin' poor sweet Sue. He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh, 'If you don't give me the deed to your ranch, I'll saw you all in half'. And then he grabbed her (And then?), he tied her up (And then?), He turned on the buzz saw (And then? And then?) Ack-ack And then __ __ __..." Hint: The title is about the arrival of the hero. Hmm.
This morning I got a very relaxing massage from Khun Joy. She noted that it has been two weeks. I was surprised that it wasn't as painful. Maybe she's just a little out of practice on the deep tissue stuff, or just a little tired from all the work setting up her new place. As a result, my body was in laid-back mode for most of the day.
Daku and BamBam were quite happy that Tatt had the day off from school. It meant more time to hang out in his room. This evening, when I went to get Daku, he was lying in front of the door to the patio, watching the rain while Tatt did homework on his bed. It was a classic picture.
Our friend Natt came over to visit in the afternoon. It was nice to spend time with her. We met her right after we arrived in Chiang Rai. There was a lot of catching up on the happenings in our lives and she filled us in on her future plans. Now that we've reconnected we'll probably be seeing more of her.
One of the benefits of all the rain we've been having is the lush green that surrounds us. This is a picture from the upstairs balcony at the rear of the house showing a part of the yard. The field behind us hasn't been cultivated in a whole season and provides a wonderful 'ocean of green'.
Backyard and Beyond
Time for Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
