Hi,
Chiang Rai had what looked like rain soaked clouds this morning, but we ventured out anyway. We delivered posters and invitation cards for the art exhibit to various locations and had a very productive morning. The big news is about water.
Well, I’m surprised that no one knows this ‘Zany Day’ song. Charlie Brown went Searchin’ and couldn’t find what the title character in the tune found. Read on: “The __ eyes began to wink and blink, he said, ‘Hold on give me time to think. The lightning flashed and the __ did speak. He said, ‘Your Big Foot May she’s down at Catfish Creek. Rocking and a rolling, hopping and a-bopping…” Hint: There is a precious metal involved in the composition.
When we began thinking about places to promote the show, we realized how many people with businesses we could call on to hang a poster and/or put out invitation cards. The list kept growing. Being part of a community is about building relationships and it seems that we’ve built quite a few. It’s gratifying to know that we have ‘friends’ who are willing to help. As a result, the word is getting out.
This morning, for the first time, the fish guy at Healthy Market was out of fish. What? There must have been a run on his fish, but he assured me he would have more tomorrow. At the fruit stand, the husband of the couple that run it spent a few minutes picking out a good watermelon for us. He always does this with a big smile, muttering something under his breath in Thai that seems to make him laugh.
While we were out, HomePro delivered the big water tank that will supply the house. During lunch Nung showed up right on time and he and his friend set everything up. We now have water with pressure in the house and everybody is very happy.
Speaking of everybody, our household has grown by one. Boot’s younger brother is staying with us now. He arrived a few days ago and already has a job. He is a very shy guy, and very sweet. We forgot his name and when we asked Boot, she told us one name, then later told us an easier name. Today Cat asked him his name and he told her something all together different. Hmm, what’s your name? Now there are seven people, two dogs, three motorcycles, and the little van. I think we’re close to a full house.
Today’s photo was taken at Boon Rawd Farm the last time we were there. The white birds in the water are swans. It’s a very relaxing landscape.
Have a Thrilling Thursday.
Peace,
Danny
