After June
July 1-8, 2009
My daughter, Christy, and her husband, Bernie, recently returned from a camping trip in eastern Washington.
A few photos from our trip to eastern Washington.

My Mac comes with a quick but limited photo editing program. It is not as sophisticated as Photoshop but it is very easy to use. On the "effects" matrix I can:
| 1) B/W |  |
| 2) Sepia |  |
| 3) Antique |  |
| 4) Fade color |  |
| 5) Boost color |  |
| 6) Matte |  |
| 7) Vignette |  |
| 8) Edge blur |  |
| 9) Maximum Highlights |  |
| 10) Maximum Shadow |  |
| 11) Or Just Leave It Alone |  |
Today I played chauffeur when we took some of Watcharee's relatives out to lunch at a nearby hotel.

Hey, hanging out at the Airport Plaza Mall in Chiang Mai beats schlepping around the Boca Town Center Mall any day.
It was Don's best ever corkscrew book ... though I wish it had been the cuties in my expat friend's pix.
OMG, I have never seen the Shangri La Hotel this empty.
Rain and food and offerings to the Spirits.
Where are they going?
PS: It's hard to see clearly in these quick shots, but the guy who was watching Obama's speech at Notre Dame accompanied him to Moscow, too.
Our condo was paid a surprise visit by some of Watcharee's hair dressers. They are a giggly cute group.
Next: Part II
