Slave

Hi,

Last night we had another storm while we slept.  Today it was similar, rain during nap time.  More is expected overnight.  Guess that’s why they call it the rainy season.

The ‘Jazzy Wednesday’ tune makes reference to something in the sky that suddenly dumps water.  Hmm, nice.

“My heart really flew, the day you caught my eye, I hope that we two will never say, ‘Good-bye.’  Clouds of gray have silver linings when they reverse, I found your love and that’s when the old gray __.”  Clue: The name of the group is three last names of the singers.  

The farthest we went from home today was The Wanderer, about a 3 or 4 minutes drive.  We took JaiDee for a little walk before going for coffee, just to mellow him a bit, and then unleashed him on the world.  Actually, we never unleash him, it just sounds profound (555).  When we got there, the place was empty.  It was great because in the course of hanging out, we got to see Khun Noot and talk a little.  We had planned to return for lunch, and then Lisa got the idea to order lunch and take it home.  Brilliant idea.  There is a very healthy chicken salad wrap that makes a perfect lunch.  It made our day.  

When the rains come, the first thing we thing of is, ‘It’s good for the farmers’.  This is true until there is a flood and the recently planted crop is washed away and the farmer is left with nothing.  We heard about this today.  Things like that are humbling.  

The dogs are making progress.  JaiDee and TongDee have actually touched noses a few times without the sound of snarling.  This evening she really stretched out and made herself comfortable on JaiDee’s bed in the kitchen, and began chewing his bone.  When he approached, looking a bit confused, she growled at him and he walked away.  Oh, the drama.  Today is her one month anniversary here and she’s come a long way.

Today’s photo shows Lisa giving both dogs treats.  The power of food.

Have a Thrilling Thursday.

                         Peace,

                                   Danny
