Hi,
The air was a little warmer this morning, though still cold for Chiang Rai. This morning we got a surprise with the early arrival of a house guest.
The ‘Zany Day’ tune was “Santa Baby’ by Eartha Kitt in 1953. ‘Old School Friday’ is next and it’s also old (555).
“You know I can be found, sitting home all alone. If you can’t come around, at least please telephone. __ __ __ to a heart that’s true.” Hint: Has to do with the opposite of being kind. Sung by a king in his slender days.
Some of you may remember Khun Tatt, the student who spent his senior high school year with us. He’s been in college for two years now and we’ve stayed in touch. We were expecting him tomorrow for a week stay, but he showed up this morning just as were started exercising the dogs. He and Daku were very close when Tatt stayed with us, so this morning was a real treat for Daku. When he spotted Tatt he went into his super excited mode. He calmed down enough to do his morning running, keeping an eye on his long lost friend. In the afternoon they played on the front lawn and Daku is tired but happy. Since Tatt tutored Cat they already know each other. They will do some fun things this weekend and next week Tatt will attend a meeting at Maefahluang University, and a party at his old high school.
Blue’s room looks out on the banana tree. He has been observing a turf war between two kinds of birds. One group would come to the tree and then the other gang would chase them off. Apparently they had a summit and now the birds share the banana bunch, each staying on the opposite side from the other. Hmm. Today’s photos show both sets of birds on the ripening bunch of fruit.
We went to the Night Bazaar tonight for some final shopping. The place was very crowded, which is a good thing. One of our vendor friends was very happy about how things have picked up for her and her husband. Visitors were carrying bags, our indicator that Baht is changing hands. When you only have three months a year with lots of traffic, it’s important that sales are made to carry the rest of the year.
Tomorrow we’ll take Tatt to Art Bridge, and in the evening he and Cat will go to Walking Street. It’s getting to be that time when the suitcases start getting stuffed. Oh my, it’s happening again.
You will hear from me on Monday from the lounge in Taipei, Taiwan during our stop-over.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. On to the ‘Funnies’ and a little Holiday Humor.
Peace,
Danny
