Lunch at Lao Laang Xang

Very tasteful, very quiet, but visually interesting. Very nice waitress with a pretty smile. A man came in and sat at a table looking out the window where there were a lot of plants. He pulled out his sketch journal and grabbed a pen and began sketching. He looked nice and seemed like a good person, so when I was done eating I asked to look at his sketch and he asked me if I was artist too when I commented on all of the interesting lines in the plant he had chosen. Very unusual for me! But it felt good. Then I left, thanking him, and that was it.

The Lunch Cart Experience

Okay, so I felt patient enough for my 2 veggie spring rolls again. While I waited, I saw a butterfly (big and monarch-like) fly around and then start climbing upwards. Up, up, up, above the buildings (6 or 8 stories high!) around and swooping and fluttering, out of view, into view. My goodness! I never knew butterflies would fly up that high. What was it looking for? Perhaps the nearby rooftop garden has some attractive flowers. Maybe butterflies enjoy warm sunshine too. Maybe it just liked the view. How wonderful.

Took a sunshine and photos walk...

The crickets were very loud! The butterflies and bees were very busy! The sun was bright and the air was warm. I think this video from my little camera is a little blurry but you can still follow the white winged creature.

Connecting with Turkey, the country

Someone in Turkey bought one of my zazzle designs. How cool is that?

Walking in the sunshine - not too hot, not too cool

Shopping at the Willy St Coop after work - all by myself

It was so peaceful. So many people smiled at me. I could make choices about what I wanted without interference from outside forces. Fast food that's not full of total crap. Ah. It was a spiritual experience for me...
