"Have a Happy Memory Day!"

That's what our waitress told us in the local Thai restaurant the other day... "Have a Happy Memory Day!" She meant Memorial Day, of course, but "Memory Day" was just as appropriate, if not nicer and more meaningful.

We also went to a Thai restaurant late this afternoon, with our friends K and B... we met them downtown at their house and went to their favorite Thai restaurant there. Very different than our local Thai Seafood, but every bit as delicious. No matter how busy our own Thai restaurant gets here, it's always very quiet within the restaurant. Not so at the downtown Thai.... when we got there, only half a dozen tables were occupied, but the noise level was such that we asked to be seated on the other side of the room so we could enjoy our conversation.

K and B are already planning their yearly adventure..... to India this time. They will leave in early December, returning after the first of the new year. They take such adventurous trips.... last December's trip was to VietNam. I asked them if they ever thought of just going to European countries like France, Italy or Greece. They said they will do those trips when they get older. Both K and B have celebrated their 60th birthdays.

Pouring rain this morning.... absolutely pouring rain for over an hour or more. But the sky cleared up and the sun came out and it was hot and bright and perfect. Glorious weather for Memory Day.
