I did pretty well at the gym this morning, though I’m still feeling weak. It’s frustrating to be at such a low point after only having a cold and cough and runny nose – something I would have thrown off without a problem not long ago. I’m trying to be thankful that I DID throw it off and can now walk a mile again!

Eating Thai Food

Brian and I had a really good breakfast this morning of “joke” – rice porridge with chicken chunks, a bit of egg, and nice seasonings, plus some pieces of assorted fruit. Really delicious!!

_______________________

I have my laundry out on the balcony. We’re having an interesting combination weather-wise lately, where we have really strong sun followed by a rain, followed by bright sun again – and maybe a repeat. I keep an eye out for rain so I can grab the stuff off my balcony…

________________________

I have two ideas rattling around in this poor old brain on sketches I want to try. One is a Thai street ice cream vendor. The other is a glamorous woman all dressed up, walking down the street. Maybe I’ll get started on them today.

Chong Lip Mun – @worldwildlife.bsky.social

Another beautiful bird that begs to be painted.

_________________

I’ve had a busy day. We went to the gym this morning. I walked my mile more easily today, though it still seemed “long.” I’m hoping my strength is building each day. I’m still feeling more comfortable holding on to the handle bars of the treadmill.

___________________

We went to see Harvey after breakfast. He knew who we were, and showed it by kissing my hand as I hugged his head and kissed him. That’s where making sense ended, though. He broke my heart at one point telling us he ‘wanted to come home,’ but didn’t know where that was…

____________________

After we got back from visiting Harvey, we went to the cafe. I finished three more sketches –

This is my interpretation of the Chiang Mai lottery. Young and old line up side by side under umbrellas to protect from sun or rain while they sit there all day selling chances to win the lottery. Some, like the man shown here, wear them as sign boards around their necks. I’m not sure of all the details, but it’s a huge business here. In this sketch, they have set up in front of some stores. You will also see a whole line of them on the sides of the roads. Some look like kids. Some look older than I am – if you can imagine that. I have noticed some ‘redemption’ places, where you can redeem your winning tickets for all kinds of merchandise…

Brian has said that Thai people delight in betting on EVERYTHING here. If it will rain – how much rain we’ll get – whether the turtle crossing the street will make it across alive – how fast the squirrel will cross from one spot to another using the wires above for ‘roads,’ …..

______________

I’m going to try to draw the Chiang Mai version of the ice cream man as one of my next sketches. I have wonderful memories of hearing the distinctive music of the ice cream man driving down the road in his truck and kids coming running out of their houses after having moved heaven and earth to get enough money to buy something. It’s much the same here, except the look is quite unique.

________________

I hope that you have had a good Memorial Day weekend surrounded by love while honoring those who have sacrificed everything for us.

We have few family times where everyone can relax, have fun, laugh and play, hug, reminisce, and enjoy a great cookout where all are almost in a coma from overdoing by the end of the weekend.

This is a beautiful thing, but it shouldn’t overshadow the reason for Memorial Day – honoring all who served, plus their families – who have given so much to our country. Take a few moments, shut your eyes, and feel their presence.

__________________

Brian and I got to the gym this morning! It’s been over a week since I actually walked on the treadmill. The power was on, but the door issue – with the key-card-door being unlocked, remained. I hope that no damage is done before the owners can fix this. My time on the treadmill seemed to go slowly. I guess that’s because I’m still pretty weak. But I did walk my mile, so that’s a good thing.

We shared a good breakfast – “breakfast burrito”, but this one sliced chicken, avocado, salad and dressing wrapped in a flour tortilla. GOOOOD!

These are my latest painted sketches.

I’m going to go to the cafe this afternoon. I’m toying with the idea of trying to do a “Thai Street Scene” showing the lottery…

Calls out to you to try to paint it, doesn’t it?

_______________________________________

Okay! Drum rolls! The long-awaited painted sketches are ready to share! (Okay, so I know the only person ‘long-awaiting’ here is ME, but I’m going to share anyway. 😜😁😜)

Latest painted sketches.

___________________

I opted out of the gym this morning. I got dressed and ready, then felt weak and wonky, so texted Brian and slept another hour before getting up, undressed, showered, and dressed again for the rest of the day. At breakfast, Brian told me the power was on at the gym, but the door was open. This is a key card open type door, so it stays locked between customers. Brian went in and checked all around, then did his normal work on the treadmill and made sure the door was shut and locked when he left. It’s a mystery…

___________________

This is a lemonade we ordered at the cafe yesterday. Not only does the lady server include two napkins so my hands don’t get wet and ruin my sketchbook, you can actually see the knot she ties in one of the napkins so it stays on the glass securely.

She also helped me move my carrier, art bag, art supplies, hoodie, pillow I put in the chair, and the partial drink I still had at that point!

We will probably go there this afternoon. Since she is almost always there, I’m going to take the picture above on my phone and the thank you card I painted to give her.

___________________________________

I hope you’re having a nice Memorial Day Weekend. One of the nicest things about the town of Greenwood, Arkansas, was that it was people-oriented; the young, the old, the veterans, the students, the sports – anything having to do with the people was celebrated with parks, parades, bands playing, bean feeds – you name it. Here is a picture of the Veterans Memorial Park in the midde of the Square decorated to honor the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform plus their families.

I hope this is a quiet, beautiful time for you and your family.

“Huskies” – Anna B – @bornforart.bsky.social

I wouldn’t want to BE out in this, but I think the photograph and the huskies, are amazing.

____________________

The electricity was still off at the gym this morning, so Brian and I walked through the park again – a different route this time. Mostly, I am better from being sick, but both Brian and I are noticing that I’m a bit short of breath. My ears are also clogged up, so my hearing is more muffled than usual. Other than that, this chicken is clucking up a storm.

____________________

I wil have some painted sketches to show you tomorrow. (I know, I said that yesterday.) But it’s TRUE this time. I have some details to finish on SEVERAL sketches. I’ll share a passel of them tomorrow.

___________________

I’m making a bit of progress on tuning my guitar with the use of my computer and then practicing some chords. I have three down now, though my fingertips are still lacking the callouses I need. I’m doing it two or three times a day, though, trying to build them up, so hopefully things will improve soon. The sick frog I sound like is alive and well. I don’t know if that will improve or not. At least I’m giving you the gift of not having to LISTEN…

______________________

We’ll probably go to the cafe this afternoon. We are moving into the rainy season now. It really rained while I was sketching. I was sitting at a side table (someone obviously didn’t REALIZE they had taken MY spot!) The rain was quite peaceful right beside my chair. Quite calming. The last half hour one of the servers came and told me my spot had opened up, so I moved and thanked them profusely.

I wish you a happy weekend.

We went to the gym, then I had my massage, and then we went to the cafe while our places were being cleaned. I have had a good day.

I should have some sketches to share with you tomorrow.

I’m late in writing my blog posts today. The day went by in a blur and I’m just now sitting down at my computer.

______________

We went to the gym this morning for the first time in about a week – since we got sick. We are still coughing a bit, but mostly over the problem now. I felt kind of weak and wonky and so held onto the handle bars as I walked today. I don’t think it matters, as long as I’m doing the walking. I’ll gain steadiness and strength as the week progresses.

_______________

We went to visit Harvey at the nursing home this morning. I took the “Tasmanian Devil” painted sketch I did. Harvey liked it, though he was pretty unresponsive otherwise, he seemed to like the sketch and wanted it on his wall. He was comfortable and calm, so that’s about the best it gets now. My biggest disappointment is that he didn’t remember our cutting out all the cartoon characters out of sheet metal in the shop to make the decorations for the mailbox…

___________________

Brian took pics of the Cheetah and will order a glass print made of the photo for my statement shelf today. I took the puzzle apart after running my hands over it for awhile and boxed it up for someone else to enjoy. I started my new puzzle, the “Runway Roosters” this afternoon. I’m trying to put the border together now.

_________________

We spent time at the cafe. I got my favorite spot by the front window. 😁. I finished two painted sketches and did some more sketches.

_________________

Tomorrow will be a differently timed day than usual.

We will go to the gym. I’ll shower and go for my massage at the usual time. Then my housekeeper may be at my place before I come back from that. If she is, I’ll just close my bedroom door, get dressed for the day, bow, and thank her, and get out of her way. I’ll go to Brian’s and we’ll leave for the cafe for the rest of the time she is cleaning our places.

Wednesday 5-20-2026

The owner/manager of the hotel affiliated with the cafe gave me this teeny tiny lovely bunch of flowers wrapped in leaves. It is called a Yellow Champaca.


“In Thailand, it is a symbol of auspiciousness. The flowers are frequently threaded into garlands (phuang malai) for temple offerings, or floated in water bowls to freshen living spaces. The yellow Champaca (botanically Magnolia champaca, formerly Michelia champaca) is a tall, evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia. Highly prized in Thailand for its intoxicating, sweet fragrance, its vivid orange-yellow flowers are traditionally used in garlands, offerings, and natural perfumes.”

She said she got the idea from ME to find some to plant as part of the elephant shrine I sketched and painted! It will add even more growing plant color to the shrine, as well as the beautiful fragrance. She says even the withered petals give off the nice fragrance!

I showed her the “house shrine” then, and was relieved when she thought my version was okay. She was quite complimentary, but I think it’s just because I’m trying to honor parts of their culture, rather than the drawing being good. For whatever reason, I’m grateful.

_________________

The cheetah is finished! Brian will come take pics to send off to have a print made on glass. I have the NEW puzzle that just came yesterday, when I finished the cheetah…

This is called, “Runway Rooster” and I think it’s a hoot! I love the 3-D-ness of it, plus the personalities of the roosters, plus the colors! Can’t wait to get started!!!

___________________

Brian and I felt better this morning and will plan to get back to the gym tomorrow morning. We will go visit Harvey tomorrow. I’m taking the sketch I did of the Tasmanian Devil and will hope that Harvey wants me to add it to his happy wall.

I hope you’re having a great day.

Getting better slowly, but surely. Brian is getting better, too, having started the meds yesterday. We are having a very quiet day, trying to rest as much as possible. I already had a nap after breakfast…

These cards are ones I’ve made for Khun Nong’s sister, who is cleaning our places for us in Khun Nong’s absence.

Still feeling pretty bad. Brian finally gave in and got himself the same meds I’m taking, since we can tell that I’m improving. Hopefully we will both feel more like ourselves in another couple of days….

________________

We had to be at the hospital for an appointment at 8:30 with the main doctor in charge of Harvey, Harvey, and Harvey’s nurse for his routine checkup. We bought meds, got the paperwork the doctor filled out for us, and visited with Harvey for a bit. We will see Harvey again on Thursday.

_________________

One of the side effects of the med for sore throat and throat irritation is that you may feel drowsy. That’s for sure in my case. We got home and I was out like a light for an hour and a half. I took it easy the rest of the day, mainly painting.

________________

This last painted sketch is for the ‘house shrine’ I was telling you about yesterday. This one is in a tree and rustic-looking with weathered wood. Others are bright white, quite ornate, and sit on pedestals.

I’ll show you more painted sketches tomorrow.

Burgess Health Center

Both Brian and I had our colds get worse yesterday. We opted out of the yesterday and today. We shared breakfast, then I took the new medicine. Two and a half hours later, I woke up from a ‘nap.’ One good thing, these meds are helping me get rid of the congestion in my chest. The bad thing, I’m using up an entire box of Kleenex blowing my nose….

_______________

I’m beginning to paint my impression of a “house shrine.”

“In Thailand, a spirit house (known as San Phra Phum) is a miniature, ornate shrine built on a pedestal to shelter the guardian spirits of the land. Found outside homes, businesses, and temples, these shrines are actively maintained with daily offerings of food, incense, and brightly colored drinks to ensure good fortune and protection.” ~ Wikipedia.

My understanding is that the Thai people are thanking the spirits for allowing them use of the land and they are promising to maintain that land for the spirits and themselves. You will see the shrines all all over the place here. They are quite beautiful – all different – all beautifully maintained.

I will see how the painting goes, and may be able to share it tomorrow.

I also did some other sketches, plus 4 more ‘thank you’ cards for our housekeeper’s sister. We don’t know how long Khun Bpaum will be helping us, and I want to be sure I have enough cards to thank her for her good work.

___________________

The cheetah puzzle is coming along nicely, although this last part is the most difficult. All the pieces are basically the same color, no outstanding shapes, no way to put together a group that might slide into place…. Character-building time for sure.

____________________

I hope that you are having a great weekend.

I think this photo is amazing.

My cold symptoms seem to have returned – sore throat, cough, runny nose – so I opted out of the gym this morning. When we got back from seeing my husband, we got new medicines that I took. I then took a nap and felt better. I spent a couple of hours at the cafe after that, and Brian will text me to come up for dinner soon.

________________

This was not one of Harvey’s better days. He was cooperative, though, in our getting the thumbprints on the paperwork needed to renew his medical visa for another 90 days, and the pictures we needed. We will meet him and his nurse, plus his main doctor at the hospital for a routine visit Monday and get the paperwork the doctor fills out for the visa, plus the meds we buy from the hospital. Hopefully, we can be finished with the visa renewal stuff in the next few days.

________________

Yesterday I told you that I was going to put my carrier and my art backpack in the chair beside me to discourage people from coming and wanting to visit the whole time I was there. Now I feel stupid because NO ONE ‘bothered’ me. I had prepared for a problem that didn’t exist. I have tried to learn to go with the flow, rather than worrying all the time, and this shows what happens when I forget that….

________________

I found out recently that a couple of my long-term friends from Lunch Bunch are now in long term nursing homes in Arkansas. I know things always come to an end, but it’s hard to let go when people mean so much to you. I’m going to concentrate on remembering what beautiful people they are and how much I have enjoyed their friendship over about 20 years.

__________________

This is an example of how well I am spoiled here. The lady server noticed that I came back after my drink was delivered and quietly got a couple of napkins. I set my iced mocha on one of the napkins and wrapped the other one around the glass so I could keep my fingers dry while I sketched. Instead of just letting me continue to do that, this is what she brought me… I LOVE getting spoiled!

I want to go here sit somewhere beside it, and simply listen and absorb.

_________________________

Latest two sketches.

I have decided that when Brian and I go to the cafe today to get out of the way of our housekeeper, I will fill the chair beside me with my carrier and my art backpack. The Chinese man yesterday was very nice, but I got the distinct impression that he might be there again today, expecting to spend whatever time I have there with me. If I HAVE to, I will just have to say, “I need to work today. Can we chat at another time?” I HATE that!

Easy Peasy Foodie

My morning has been really nice. We went to the gym and shared breakfast. Our favorite breakfast is one “I” call a “Breakfast Burrito.” Do you remember the Wendy’s commercials showing people trying to eat a Wendy’s hamburger, taking a bite, then putting it down, wiping their faces and hands with a napkin, then taking another bite – stopping – over and over, with a whole pile of napkins? This is the way we are with the burritos. They are a flour tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, and a whole lot of salad (lettuce, carrots, etc.) plus some kind of salad type dressing. We each eat half of the burrito. It’s to-die-for delicious, but impossible to eat. Brian holds his, eats it while it’s falling apart, then goes to his sink and practically takes a shower to clean up from it. I eat a few bites until it starts to drip all over the plate and fall apart. I then put the rest on my plate, using a fork and knife to cut up the rest of it. I still end up mopping my face….

Thaiger

This morning was my massage. Ahhhhhh! Khun Weaw is back now on a steady basis, so I can feel myself relax as I go in. She finds and fixes all that ails me. I never have to worry about it being too much, even though there is one thing she does that feels like she’s twisting me into a corkscrew and that I might suddenly ‘pop.’ I’m drinking a bottle of water as I type this, supposedly to avoid soreness. I don’t know the science behind it, I just do it.

Brian was here working when I got back from the massage. I changed clothes and then did my backup of my phone and computer data. He then announced he had ordered a ‘snack.’ We have just enjoyed the impossibly decadent cream-filled-whatever-it-is with lemonade on the side. Did I tell you I am becoming the most spoiled woman on the planet?

We will work here for a while and then head for the cafe for the rest of the afternoon. Hopefully, I will get several sketches done. I am going to TRY to sketch the head of an otter, a concrete elephant sculpture we saw recently, and a type of shrine people build and display here when they build a house or shop to appease the spirits. They hope the house will take the place of the land that they are using. A kind of ‘Bless this House’ and good luck wish. It is also a place where people leave offerings of food, drink, and flowers. Then there are several images on my phone I would like to put my spin on…

I hope that you have a good weekend ahead. Please remember to consciously include some FUN in each day!

“Passing Moments” – @pauljwillson.bsky.social

Isn’t this lovely?

_______________

Daily Paws

Brian and I finally feel well enough that we went to the gym this morning for the first time in a week. We are still coughing, but it’s just leftover stuff now. It was good to be back to our normal schedule this morning, although it seemed like the half hour walking went slow for me. Shows how much I NEED it!

_________________

I have the sheets changed on the bed, trash gathered, and things picked up and mostly ready for Khun Nong’s sister, Khun Bpaum, to come clean tomorrow.

I’m going to head for the cafe soon, getting money to pay my massage people and the cleaning lady, on the way.

I had a really nice time with the lady who owns or manages the hotel connected to the cafe yesterday. I had brought my older sketchbook and she had time and wanted to look at my stuff. I’ve never had anyone ask to do that before, so it was really a thrill. After she looked a while, I told her about the “Thai Street Series” I was trying to do. She was interested, so I riffled through the sketches to find them. I held my breath when we got to the shrine, because Brian told me that I could offend someone if they didn’t like it. The wonderful thing was that she was pleased with it. She liked the calm and reverent feeling I had gotten. I was so relieved. She said the one thing that was missing was some moss, so I added some to the painting this morning.

She wants to draw, too, and even bought a sketchbook. I encouraged her to do it. It would relieve her stress.

I love this image by Tina Ann.

This is my new haircut. Not quite where I want to go yet, but he’s getting closer. At least it looks like someone had a plan now, rather than my former dandelion-gone-to-seed look.

__________________

The visit to Harvey yesterday was mixed. Most of the time he made little or no sense. He looked at me for a long time and then said he liked my earrings. Then after we sat silently a while longer, he said, “I like waking up to the pictures on my wall. They make me happy.” I thanked him for telling me that and then had to excuse myself to cry in the bathroom for a couple of minutes. This Saturday we do all the thumbprints and pictures needed to Harvey’s renewal of his medical visa. Monday he has an appointment at the hospital with his main doctor, and that doctor will fill out the rest of the paperwork we need. We’ll probably stop by the visa lady’s office on the way home from seeing Harvey Monday at the hospital.

____________________

Yesterday at the cafe I felt someone looking at me while I was sketching. I looked up out the window and there was a man standing there grinning at me. He pointed to my sketchbook and then did a thumb’s up, continuing to grin and bow. He did that a couple of times to make sure I got the message and then went on his way. Honestly, it astonishes me how nice people are here.

______________________

This is the newest painted sketch.

Meet “Gus.” He’s my resident gecko. He moves from my bathroom, to skittering across my art alcove counter, and elsewhere, moving from a complete standstill to running as fast as he can. He is probably 1-1/2 inches long at the most, and is as cute as geckos get. I’ve decided to name him and call him a pet, since he seems to have adopted my place. Hopefully, he’ll eat any bugs he finds.

__________________

I’m closing in on finishing the cheetah puzzle. I just love how he stands out in this photo.

I found another puzzle I love and looked on Lazada (our Amazon type place) to find it again. After looking and looking, I finally decided they no longer offered it. I looked on Amazon and FOUND it! I texted Brian and he just told me he had ordered it. He really spoils me, and I make sure he knows how much I appreciate him.

I painted these for Harvey’s “Happy Wall.” I’ll give him the “Tasmanian Devil” a week from Saturday, spacing these out, hoping he enjoys adding them to his wall.

________________

We will go visit him today. Nothing special is going on this week, but NEXT week we have to get his thumbprint on about 20 pages and pictures of him in the bed to apply for another renewal of his medical visa. We have a lady who helps us, so we are just go-fers on this, thank goodness. It would still seem obvious that Harvey isn’t going anywhere soon, and you would think they would have different KINDS of medical visas, but we will do whatever we need to do to keep things legal.

Yesterday at the cafe I had the nicest thing happen! The lady that I told you brought me the fresh Thai bananas recently came in. We smiled and I motioned her over, telling her how wonderful I thought the bananas were and how much Brian and I enjoyed them. I then gave her a thank you card I had painted. She looked at it, teared up, and hugged it close to her. Then got up and hugged ME. It turns out that she speaks pretty good English (!) and she said she had wanted to see my art work but was afraid of ‘disturbing me.’ (Can you imagine that?) Anyway, I told her I would be happy for her to look through my old sketchbook, and that I would start bringing it in my art bag in case she had the time to look. The Thai people are SO kind!

Happy Mother’s Day!

This is one of the priceless drawings a friend of my family growing up did for us. It’s the same man who drew the picture of me singing at the Dust Bowl that I posted recently. This time his vision of Mother’s Day became a treasure on what we called, “The Thomson Wall” at our home in Tulsa.

___________

My Mother kept a garden,

A garden of the heart.

She planted all the good things

That gave my life its start.

She turned me to the sunshine

And encouraged me to dream.

Fostering and nurturing

The seeds of self-esteem.

And when the winds and rain came,

She protected me enough.

But not too much because she knew

I’d need to stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example

Always taught me right from wrong.

Markers for my pathway

That will last a lifetime long.

I am my Mother’s garden.

I am her legacy.

And I hope today she feels the love

Reflected back from me.

—Unknown

“Burning Horizonz’ – Mira – @deepgreens.bsky.social

I think this is stunningly beautiful.

_______________

Today is Friday, our ‘out-of-pocket’ day, as far as schedules go. My throat is still sore and I was coughing much of the night, so opted out of the gym this morning. Brian was the same.

I have just come back from a beautiful massage from Khun Weaw, and am feeling really good, otherwise, now. Brian had to vacate his place because of Khun Nong’s sister cleaning, so he has been working down here. He just went to pick up a snack he ordered for us. YUM!!

After a while, we will pack up and go to the cafe to spend the afternoon so that the housekeeper’s sister can clean MY place.

Happy Birthday Messages

Thursday 5-7-2026

I just finished this latest painted sketch. This one intimidated me because it’s a shrine, a holy place, a sacred place, but I wanted to try to capture the quiet, the calm, the reverence of the many shrines everywhere we go in the city. On many days there are flowers left, soft drinks, snacks. It is said the spirits are fond of sugary things, and people want to please them. Piles of flowers, garlands, lights – all kinds of things are left to honor the spirits. None of these things are ever touched. I guess someone finally clears things out, but that happens when people don’t see it. This is one style of shrine. The other major one is a “house,” usually meant to thank the spirits for allowing the person to build a house or open a shop on a piece of land, and the house is meant to make up for that. I’ll try to find a good image of that sometime soon.

This is another one I finished today.

“Mr. Natural” is the first in the series of Harvey’s long time favorite cartoon characters that I’m painting and will add to his “Happy Wall” tomorrow when we go visit.

“Mr. Natural (Fred Natural) is a comic book character created and drawn by 1960s counterculture and underground comix artist Robert Crumb. First appearing in Yarrowstalks (1967), the character gained a following during the emergence of underground comix in the 1960s and 1970s, and has been extensively merchandised in various products.”

This is one of the mailbox decorations we made when we lived in Arkansas. Anyway, I’m hoping that Harvey will get a kick out of putting these up on his wall and give him some happy memories.

____________________

Brian came up to my table at the front window at the cafe early today, saying he was ready to go home. When we got home, he steered me to the pick up area where there was some type of ‘goody’ waiting. It turne out to be the to-die-for delicious cream-filled, no-name “thingie” that we love. We snarfed it down handily. Then he tuned my guitar, and we talked about the fact that it seemed a little unusual that this guitar needs to be tuned every day. He then showed me another way to do the “C” chord that might help with my finger-stretching and flesh-on-the-box problem. I’ll try it after dinner.

Vecteezy

I’m trying really hard not to get sick. I opted out of the gym this morning. I have a bit of a sore throat, some hoarseness to my voice, a slight runny nose, a slight cough. Nothing exciting like fever, chills, not being able to eat or sleep, etc., though. If I show more symptoms, or the ones I have get worse, Brian will make me a concoction of Vitamin C powder, although he doesn’t think it helped him this time.

_______________

I’ve been spending my time doing base painting of my sketches and working on my magificent cheetah puzzle this morning. Since I’m not feeling bad, I’m hoping we’ll spend time at the cafe, where I can do the details on finishing my painted sketches while drinking a mocha. Maybe I can luck out and get “MY” spot today!

______________

More of my most recent painted sketches.

One thing that impresses me so much about Thailand is men not being afraid to show their softer side. I keep seeing wonderful sights like a big, burly man on a motorcycle. His motorcyle is pink and his tee with the cut off arms is picking, letting his sleeve tattoos show. Couple that with a pink helmet with bear ears attached to the top and his backpack with several cute little stuff animals attached to it. The thing that is super wonderful is that this is NOT an uncommon sight here. Grab drivers have stuffed kitties asleep on their dashboards. Grab motorcycle riders are blowing bubbles on their way down the road. Men show their emotions when something sweet touches them. What a beautiful thing!

This tree is at Harvey’s nursing home. I have no clue what it is. I’m amazed at the huge green ‘fruit’ hanging from some of the branches.

____________

Mango.org

Speaking of fruit, Brian received a gift when he was out walking yesterday afternoon. A lady who runs a Thai food shop stopped him. (He really likes that place, but her hours run such that, since we don’t eat lunch, we basically can’t go while she’s open.) She gave him a mango (a yellow one), just to be nice. We shared it for breakfast this morning and I don’t see how a fruit could taste better. It was perfectly ripe and very sweet. Absolutely delicious!

____________

AND, speaking of how NICE people are here in Chiang Mai, when we were at the cafe this afternoon, the nice lady server I gave the earrings to brought me my mocha. She had noticed that I always get up soon after my drink arrives, and get two napkins – one to fold under the glass and the other to wrap around the drink. (The glass gets wet and I can’t do my sketches or finish my painted sketches with wet fingers. ) Today without a word, my drink had a napkin folded under it, and another napkin wrapped around it in such a way that she had ‘TIED’ it to stay on the glass. She is really spoiling me. (The other two servers, including my guy I had the water fights with) don’t do that, so I’ll just enjoy the spoiling when it happens. :0)

_________________

AND – a special treat while I was at the cafe – a lady stopped by my table, looking amazed. Then she had a delighted look on her face. She asked me if she could take a picture. She did, and thanked me. I told her I was just trying to teach myself how to draw and then painting the sketches. Before we left, I stopped and thanked her for making my day. 🎨

____________________

These are new painted sketches.

_______________

We went to visit Harvey this morning. He was comfortable and calm, but basically wanted to watch TV instead of talk with us. We confirmed that he is reading his book – not whether or not he’s using the reading light he asked us to get for him – but that was the whole of the conversation today. I’m thankful he was content and interested in the pretty ladies doing something similar to a QVC channel.

________________

Acoustic Guitar

I’m making a bit of progress on relearning my basic chords. I can now play “A” and “E minor” without referring to anything and they sound okay. “C” is still a disaster – I can hear my teacher from the Dark Ages telling me to “keep your flesh off the box, dahlin'” as my strings are all flat and muffled. I’m trying to learn to change my grip so my fingers will stretch, and push hard enough, but the fingertips give out before I can get the clear sound I want. I keep practicing really short sessions several times a day, trying to build up my callouses so I can practice longer…

I LOVE the light in this photo and all the different shades of green. What a beautiful place to spend a lot of time!

_____________

Brian was better today, so we went to the gym this morning. He’s still not 100%, but he was exercising, eating, and we went to the cafe to spend some time this afternoon. He wanted to take a long walk in the sunshine. “Long walk” means MILES in “Brian-speak,” so I opted out. I’m so glad to see him perking up.

______________

I finished several painted sketches today. I’ve been doing the base painting here in the condo and then taking my colored pencils and other detail finishing supplies in my art backpack to the cafe. I had gotten way ahead on sketches, and I’m almost out of space to do new sketches in this book, so I’m doing some catch up.

______________

I’m having to pick and choose what I will do with my time these days, running out of time long before I have done all I wanted to do. Frustrating to be so spoiled that I can’t decide which thing will bring me the most joy to do next….

“Sunrise over Lake Superior from Grand Marais” – Bryan Hansel – Substack

Isn’t this glorious?

______________

Brian is trying really hard NOT to get sick, so we didn’t go to the gym this morning. He is resting and loading up on Vitamin C. We shared a Thai breakfast this morning of a rice porridge dish called, “Joke,” a combination of rice, chicken and nice spices all mortared and pesteled into a nice dish. We had a side of watermelon. I’m not sure if we’ll go to the cafe this afternoon or not.

This is for everybody, but especially for Donna, who takes almost as much interest in the puzzles as I do. The border doesn’t show here, except for the black part under the cheetah.

I’m moving from guitar practice, to puzzle, to blog post, to painting and then back again. It’s been a very nice morning. I will plan on adding my exercises with water bottles this afternoon since we opted out on the gym this morning.

Happy May! I hope this month brings you nicer, calmer weather, some flowers pushing up confirming Spring, and lots and lots of smiles.

________________

Two latest painted sketches. I tried to show in this one that it doesn’t matter what kind of shop it is, the people use lots of plants to make it inviting.

I’m into a fun pattern now, where I paint some sketches at home, then take them to the cafe to add details and finish them, then do more sketches.

_______________

Yesterday at the cafe they were taking pictures of drinks for some kind of promotion. I wasn’t in the way and they allowed me to watch. They would make a drink – for example, a pretty one with purple froth on top. Then they would go outside and find some tiny purple flowers and greenery to add to the top of the drink before photographing. It was beautiful and fascinating. They saw I was taking an interest, so they started looking at me for at thumbs up when I liked what I saw. 😁

I used Google Translate yesterday to thank the lady server there who has been so kind to me. She watches for ‘my spot’ to open up, for example. She came and got me recently and helped me move my stuff! Anyway, I thanked her for being so kind. I told her I had made some wooden earrings and wanted to give them to her as a gift for her kindness. I thought she was going to cry. It was a really nice moment.

_______________

We are going to visit Harvey this morning. The nursing home sent Brian a picture of him READING! He wasn’t using the reading light (it was in bed with him) but he was reading again for the first time in a long time. We’re hoping to encourage that today, show him how to use the light again, if needed, and hopefully brighten his day.

________________

I’m practicing with my guitar – though progress is painfully slow – and learning one chord at a time now. I’m learning “A”, picturing it in my mind rather than referring to diagrams, and doing as well as I can placing my fingers as near the frets as possible, continuing to work at it until I get a good, clean sound. I do this several times before my fingertips start yelling at me. I’m building callouses as I practice. 🎸

Weight Loss Progress Report – April 30, 2026 –

As of this morning, I’ve lost 92 lbs and 89 inches. I was to lose 3 more pounds and then hold it steady there. I’ll still eat two meals a day, watching my portions, but I won’t have to obsess about not being able to eat any particular kind of food anymore.

Another good thing – with my lard loss and exercising, I now take 1/2 of one blood pressure pill every other day, keeping my numbers under control, where I was in danger of real trouble when I first moved to Thailand. So that and my thyroid pill (I had mine radiated due to Grave’s Disease several years ago) are my only prescription drugs now.

My focus has now turned to adding more movement every day –

  • I’m walking a mile on the treadmill every day – trying to increase my speed and the incline percentage as I can while concentrating on my balance
  • On alternate days I do either a session of yoga stretches or exercises with water bottles.
  • I’m taking the stairs in my building coming down routinely. I’m going UP when I’m not carrying anything.
  • I’m putting on some heavy beat music on my computer, putting on my headphones, and dancing to a couple of songs at least every other day.
  • I’m trying to use opportunities to get extra movement in as they arise – for example, today we needed to get cash for tomorrow, but our regular ATM wasn’t working. We walked to another one, and then took the long way home, stopping to visit my Koi fish on the way back.

I’m consciously trying to ‘up my game’ on my sketches, trying to do some I wouldn’t have considered before. I’m sketching every day, particularly since we’re spending time at the cafe, with Brian working and my sketching, reading, and watching the traffic, so I have dedicated time now to concentrate on what I consider more difficult challenges. Drawing every day, doing the best that I can, and then having the fun of painting my drawings, is filling a good part of my day with joy.

I’ve had a good, busy day. It’s just after 4pm on Wednesday here, and I have been going non-stop the whole day. It has been glorious.

When we aren’t going to visit Harvey, I’m starting to paint one of my sketches when I get back from the gym and breakfast with Brian. While the paint is drying, I’m answering email and blog post comments, then doing a session with my new guitar. This morning I then did good yoga stretches, then did another layer of painting, another session with the guitar, and then it was time to go to the cafe. I did some good sketching – starting out at one place and then getting to move to ‘my spot’ to spend a good while. Brian, who was already wearing a sweatshirt over his tee, was too cold, so we came home.

I’m starting a new sketchbook (#3) very soon, so I got that ready this afternoon.

I laughed when I started trying to work with my guitar this morning. When I first learned to play, my teacher, who was from the deep south, would say, “Keep your flesh off the box, dahlin’.” You’re supposed to put your finger TIPS down close to the frets, resulting in a nice tone. When you “put your flesh on the box, dahlin’,” the sound is completely deadened. I was, indeed, puttin’ my flesh on the box, dahlin’ this morning – the neck of this guitar is quite wide for me, so I’ll have to work on techniques to get my hands and fingers to stretch to position them correctly so my chords sound like music, rather than noise.

It has been around 60 or so years since I played and sang at my high school, at my college, and at “The Dust Bowl” in Tulsa, a place where folk singers were welcome, so to say I’m starting over, learning the chords, finger positions, how to use a new style capo, is an understatement. There’s a YouTube site that helps you tune your guitar, another that shows basic chords and finger positions. When I’m ready, YouTube also offers songs with lyrics and chords! I basically play by ear, so this will help me out a lot.

My fingers hurt after only a few minutes, so I’ll do a session, rest and do something else, and then do another session, building my knowledge, calluses, and hopefully learning the proper finger positions so I can actually play some chords.

This is a wonderful way to learn. I have absolutely no pressure. No deadlines. No one will hear me croak or play. The insulation in the building is good so my neighbors won’t hear me. I am really, really happy to try to add back making some music to my new life.

Newest painted sketches

_______________________

We had a challenging visit with Harvey this morning. He thought I was his mom and that Brian was his dad, even though we tried to correct him. He also announced that the nursing home had served everyone ‘dog’ with mashed potatoes for dinner last night; specifically, ‘your dog’ meaning his parents’ dog, Gypsy. He said he recognized her, but they were getting low on food… We took the reading light, and he seemed to think that would work well. We’ll see if he actually uses it.

_______________

The rest of my day was super wonderful, though. On the way home from the visit with Harvey we stopped and found a used acoustic guitar! The shop owner through in the case, and Brian gave me a capo and a pick.

I feel as if this is Christmas, my birthdays, my anniversary, and National Pickle Week all rolled into one. The neck of this guitar is much wider that the guitar I had so long ago, so I’ll have to completely start over with learning and being able to play the chords, as well as build the calluses I used to have on the tips of my fingers, plus I sound like a sick frog – but I don’t care. I’m ecstatic! I found a Youtube site that shows me the basic chords and I’ll practice those until I know them again. I figured out that it has been over 60 years since I played and sang in college – so to say I’m a bit rusty doesn’t begin to cover it. 🤭 I have the perfect situation for starting over. No pressure. No time limits. No one listening. Just me and the guitar, croaking together. PERFECT!

_________________________

I spent a couple of hours at the cafe this afternoon. I did a sketch for our 57th wedding anniversary which I’ll paint and take to Harvey in June. I also did a sketch for Father’s Day, plus two sketches of his favorite cartoon characters.

“What A Beautiful World” – @abbphotos.bsky.social

This is a beautiful photo with the background suggesting it’s a painting. Just beautiful!

_____________

I’ve had a great morning, moving from painting some sketches to working on my Cheetah jigsaw puzzle, to working at the computer, to running a couple of errands, and more. It’s a beautiful day here.

Brian and I will probably go to the cafe. He tends to stay most of the afternoon working while I usually come back home mid afternoon to write more blog posts, catch up on email, etc. before dinner.

These are my latest painted sketches.

Soon Brian and I will find good places to search for a used acoustic guitar for me. I’m missing playing and singing. I haven’t done it for years – and in fact sound like an ill frog when I try to sing along with YouTube right now, but this would only be for ME. I used to sing in high school and in The Student Entertainers at Oklahoma State University to help pay for my schooling. I sang folk songs then, and it was a fun, fulfilling thing to do. I don’t read music and would just work songs out that I liked by ear. Now you can find songs on the computer that show the lyrics AND chords! I’m hoping we can find something at a reasonable price. It would be a great addition of my fun things to do.

Today when I get home from the cafe I’ll do a good, long session of yoga stretches. I opted out of the gym this morning, feeling that I needed another hour of sleep. When Brian and I shared breakfast, I discovered HE had not gone, either – feeling lazy, he said. The yoga stretches will loosen me up and make up for my sloth this morning.

Patty Tait sent me this photo she took of female elephant seals lying on the beach on the coast of California on a short trip last week. I have never seen anything like this. Wow. Just wow. Thank you, Patty!

A big shout-out and THANK YOU to my wonderful sister-in-law, Mary Lou Lewis, who took us with her this past week for a vicarious trip to a beach on the coast of North Carolina – and not only that – but sent terrific pictures that made us feel we were there with her. Many of you wrote nice comments about both her photos and the fact that she let us come with her. I forwarded them to her so that she could read first-hand how what she did was appreciated. :0)

____________________

I’m just back home from spending some time at the cafe and sketching. I got my favorite spot this time and was very comfy with my pillow to sit on, my mocha to drink, and my supplies ready at hand. I did several sketches. I’m in the process of painting several of them and will probably start posting some of them tomorrow.

___________________

Meanwhile, I’ve been working on my Cheetah puzzle. I have the border done and the cheetah is emerging!

I got the idea of drawing some of my husband’s favorite old school cartoon characters – like some of the ones we did for our mailbox decorations – to paint and add to his ‘happy wall.’ I’ll see what I can come up with. I hope he’ll be happy to see them.

“Forest Stream” -Ali Khaliq – @khaliqali.bsky.social

Here’s another place I would love to spend some time. Want to come with me?

_____________

Two beautiful words –

We went to visit Harvey at the nursing home this morning and just got back. He was glad to see us, was comfortable, and mostly made sense. When I showed him the picture I painted of the water gun that also shoots LED lights for his wall,

he looked at it for quite a while and finally he said, “It’s good.” Those two words made my day – quite a bit more than that, actually.

This is his “Happy Wall” now. (The poster on the right is the “Reward” one Brian did for him about three of the things Harvey thinks have been ‘stolen’ since he went to the nursing home. The poster clearly states (in Thai) that these things are NOT missing, and thanking everyone at the nursing home for their patience with Harvey. (There is one on the outside of his room door, as well, at his insistence.) Today we clipped his fingernails, and then he used the fingernail file we brought recently. He wanted me to leave my fingernail clippers – and then proceeded to slide the fingernail file between his arm and the wristband on his watch, saying it will keep the people there from ‘stealing’ them. We told him we’ll bring him some clippers, and I managed to put the fingernail file back in the book – where it was as I left it last time.

He actually told us that he had read a lot of the RG Ryan book since we saw him last, and told us he would tell us when he was ready for us to order the next one in the series. We showed him a picture of the light we ordered for him, and he seemed to think it might work for him. (It was delivered this morning while we were visiting him, so we’ll take it to him Tuesday with a battery installed and a spare.) Finally, he wanted Brian to order French fries for him, so Brian checked on it while we were stopped for a chocolate after the visit, and it was being delivered as we checked.

So, as visits go, this one was a stellar visit.

___________________________

I’m working on my new Cheetah puzzle. I have some various pieces put together in ‘clumps,’ and I can tell it’s part of the cheetah. One of the clumps shows his whiskers!

________________________

Next we will probably go to the cafe for a while. It gives focus to the afternoon and lets us enjoy a drink. Hopefully, my favorite spot will be free. I have a problem I haven’t had for as long as I remember! With my weight loss, I don’t have nearly as much padding on which to sit as I used to, so many chairs are now uncomfortable. I tried bringing a towel to add to the chair. Yesterday I stuffed a small pillow in my art backpack and that worked really well. I think it’s funny that my new problems with my size are so different than having problems squeezing into smaller spaces without running into things or knocking things over, or sitting on a bench seat rather than a chair with arms to give me more room. Change of focus can bring a smile…

I want to take a walk here and play in that wonderful sunlight! What a gorgeous place!

_______________

Today has already been a nice day. After the gym and breakfast, I did some chores and then went for my massage. I feel loose as a goose now. The only problem is that we have things to do and I could use a nap… 😁

Since our regular housekeeper, Khun Nong, is out of town, our schedules for Fridays are different, starting with Brian having to get out of the way for Khun Nong’s sister to clean his place this morning – rather than in the afternoons on Tuesdays. He was at my place working on his computer when I returned from my massage. Khun Nong’s sister is coming to clean MY place at 2:00, so we have to be out of here then. We’ll go to the cafe, as usual.

Brian said he was going to get us a snack a while ago. This is very unusual, as you know I’m still trying to lose the last of my lard. Anyway, Brian came back with two to-die-for custard pie type things and twisted my arm off as I yelled for help, finally succumbing to his superior strength and the offer of a napkin and a spoon. It was delicious. 😋

So Brian is working at my dining area table while I work at my computer table. We will have to leave in about an hour to get out of the way. I’ve brought in the laundry from the balcony and put it away, and taken out the trash, so things are ready for cleaning.
