Friday Funnies

Hi,

This morning there was a very light rain that tried to repeat this afternoon.  Not much came from either event, at least not in our neighborhood.  

The ‘Middle Song’ was “Free Man In Paris” by Joni Mitchell.  To wrap up the week, here’s an ‘Old School Friday’ you may remember:  “I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road, and I asked him, ‘where are you going?’ and this he told me…’I’m going on down to Yasgur’s farm, I’m going to join in a rock ’n’ roll band.  I’m going to camp out on the land, I’m gonna try and get my soul free.  We are stardust, we are golden, and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.”  Hint:  This 1970 song title is a place, an event, and a cultural center piece.  A trio made it famous.  

We made our daily trip to BKK Hospital this morning and got a bit of good news.  The lab test showed that there was no longer any bacteria present.  The doctor wants to go longer on the antibiotics just to be sure.  The comfort level is much better, although there are surprise ‘reminders' from time to time.

The plan was to go to Starbuck’s and then Top’s Market, which is a part of the mall complex, but opens an hour earlier.  It had rained and the turn out was light for a Friday morning.  That meant plenty of parking for coffee.  We drove into the parking structure, thinking we’d get closer to the other end of the mall for our trip to Top’s.  The only problem with that was the structure was closed and the only way to get out was to drive all the way to the top, then back down the spiral ramp.  There was no choice but to comply.  After all that driving, a spot was waiting for us right in front of the market.  

By the time we finished shopping, the mall was opening so we went in and paid our phone bills.  So convenient to be able to do that at the mall.  Downstairs, we cruised the ArtBridge Gallery to see if it had changed yet.  There will be a special Mother’s Day exhibit and one of Lisa’s works will be included.  

Monday is Mother’s Day in Thailand.  It is the birthday of the Queen and is a national holiday, as well as a day to celebrate all mothers.  Nitchanan’s school had a special program today.  This will be a big weekend for restaurants and places of interest.  Families will gather and pay tribute to mothers and grandmothers. 

Today’s photo was taken by Lisa, from her studio window, looking down on part of the front yard.

Have a Wonderful WeekEnd.         Time for the ‘Funnies’.  

                        Peace,
