Hi,

The weather today was a little cooler, but still hot.  The humidity pushed it to the uncomfortable level.  Oh well, tomorrow is supposed to be back in the 90’s again.

The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “Love The One You’re With” by Stephen Stills.  ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ is next.

“It’s like a diamond ring, it’s a precious thing, and we never want to lose it.  It’s like a favorite song that we love to sing, ev’ry time we hear the music.  And __ __ __ __ __, we got the kind that lasts forever.  __ __ __ __ __, and like berries on the vine, it gets sweeter all the time.”  Hint:  This smooth singer played his voice like an instrument.  The love song is one of commitment and joy.  

Our day was one of movement.  It began with a short morning walk with  JaiDee and another bummer for him because we had to leave him after the walk.  Lisa had an appointment and we had just enough time to get gas and coffee.  I hope JaiDee is not keeping track because this is the second day in a row that he didn’t get to go with us.

The gas/coffee experience is one we’ve had before, but mainly when traveling.  There is a gasoline company that has a standing deal at all of their locations.  You get gas, there’s a 7-11, and an Amazon Coffee all at one stop.  The only thing about the coffee is that you may not get a consistently flavorful cup.  Our iced coffee today was lacking in smoothness.  Still, the stop saved a bunch of time.

Today’s photo was taken at Amazon Coffee.  Many locations have some sort of relaxing scene.  This is one of the best I’ve seen.  To the right of the scene is a quiet waterfall.

After the appointment we met our friends Caty and Lisa for lunch at Sabroso for Mexican food.  It was our first visit back since they reopened.  We had ordered ‘take-out’ but hadn’t actually sat down to eat.  We had a ball.  For the first part of the meal, there was lots of ‘dog talk’.  Lisa apologized to Caty for our dominating the conversation with talk of our ‘children’ and Caty, mother of twins, admitted that she does it all the time.  There was food talk, discussion of health remedies, and no meal is complete without some mention of the virus.  It left us all very full, physically and mentally.

Forty-five minutes later, we were back on the highway headed north to Mae Chan.  That’s where Dr. Mark aka Dr. Happy had his office.  It was time for me to get some injections in my lower back.  An improvement on the quality of life.  On the way home we stopped at Browney Pet World for more of the frozen meals that TongDee will eat.  Lisa figured out that she doesn’t like fish.  Now she’s getting meals fit for humans and since they are on sale, she will dine well until we figure her out.  This morning Natcha took both dogs out and when JaiDee approached TongDee, she did her growling, snapping routine but this time, he nipped her (so far, no blood has been drawn). Natcha said TongDee cried and ran off.  Hmm, maybe he IS the boss of the yard.  More will be revealed.

Feels like a Wacky Wednesday.

                             Peace,

                                       Danny
