I did MUCH better at the gym this morning. I’m feeling much stronger and steadier today. Hooray!! Brian and I shared a really nice breakfast of our breakfast burrito plus a small bowl of assorted fruit (canteloupe, watermelon, and the same yellow roundish fruit with a big seed in the middle that we ate yesterday.)

Brian figured out what the fruit is and sent me a video on the processing of what is called, “Jackfruit.”

I showed you a picture recently of some humongous things hanging from a tree at the nursing home.

This is Jackfruit

I hope this plays for you. I think it’s amazing.

I have been changing my sheets, putting out fresh towels, gathering trash, etc. to get ready for Khun Nong’s sister to come clean tomorrow. We are going with the flow on timing – just making sure we are out of her way – as we are very grateful that we are not just ‘having to do without’ while Khun Nong is on extended holiday. I am almost ready now.

I had a great time at the cafe yesterday, starting out at a side table and then moving up to ‘my’ spot when the other people left, so I had the best of both worlds. I spent much of the time I was there yesterday finishing up the sketches I showed you yesterday and doing the sketch of “The Ice Cream Man” – Thai Style. I have the base painting done and will see if I can finish up the details at the cafe this afternoon.

I also dreamed about the lady in the big hat and dress that I would like to try to draw next. This is totally in my head. I don’t have a reference picture. I don’t have anything but my awe of her elegance bouncing around in my head. I’ll see what I can do.

Reveals the heart of nature

Interconnections”

Audrey posts the most beautiful photos – like the one above – paired with her original poems – on BlueSky. I just love them! 😀

Rose Apple – http://www.thai-best.com

“Rose apple in Thailand, known as Chompoo (ชมพู่), is a popular, crisp, watery, bell-shaped fruit with a mild, sweet, floral taste, eaten fresh with salt/sugar or in salads, and comes in green, red, or pink varieties, available almost year-round, distinct from Western apples in taste and texture but equally refreshing. “

We have enjoyed slices of this the past couple of days with our breakfast. It’s texture is softer than an apple and it’s sweeter. We had the red variety.

One of the things we have with a fruit is what “I” call a “breakfast burrito” – a tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, bacon and salad.

Breakfast of Champions!!! 😁

I walked a mile at the gym, had breakfast, walked down the stairs (4 flights) between my son’s condo and mine, hung my laundry on the drying rack on my balcony, and am set to enjoy a quiet day smiling while choosing the activity I want to do next. Today is yoga stretches day. 💪🏻
