family news

Very hot outside so I am staying inside with an air conditioner set at 80 degrees. 

 It is Palm Sunday so there will be a parade with everyone singing hymns, bands, and of course carrying palm branches. 

 Next week, they will be singing the Pasyon prayers. We will have it in the neighborhood chapel (where I usually donate money for refreshment for the singers).

 People often make a small chapel in the garden or in the side streets: Our niece always sponsored one up the street, but alas she passed away, so we don't have a makeshift chapel up the street. Since the traffic is too heavy (the main street is one way, so our street is for the other way, and when traffic is heavy, the locals scoot up the side streets to avoid the traffic at the nearby palenke). 

 our wash machine shorted out and there was a small fire: (the rats had eaten the electric wire covering) so we had to replace the motor so we can do the wash again tomorrow. 

 Ruby was here last weekend for a cousin's wedding shower, and this week, her cousins from the USA will be visiting her in Thailand. 

 I am fine. I do worry about my social security for two reasons: One, the SS won't let me use my local address so I had to change it to my US address. 

Hope I don't get it canceled for that since they are clamping down on fraud. We elders have problems with all this paper work, but I am not ready to change to a power of attorney yet.
