Thai Basil of Black Mountain



 I love Thai food, and this restaurant is very nice to make fresh dishes. So I tried stopping by to purchase a take out meal of some of their fare on Feb. 16 for lunch (which would of course provide left overs for a couple of other meals.)

I liked these pretty paper lanterns.


And I enjoyed sitting in the tiny waiting area with a Goddess and a peacock, and a couple of plants. Unfortunately there was also a rest room behind a partial wall, and the odor (coming through my mask) was that of the usual deodorizer in rest rooms. It did encourage me that I don't have the COVID-19 virus because I sure did have a good sense of smell even through my mask.



I was surprised to have someone call my name...and from our 6 foot distance we kind of caught up, while we both waited for our lunches to be ready. Sarah Vekasi had just been doing some vehicle exchanges with a friend, and she also had been the one who sold me my present car. Other than that, she used to live on the street where I lived, and she is a potter, who also used to work in the same community studio with me. She's now living in Maine, and said she'd be returning back there again in a week. She's presently teaching her home-schooled nephew. I'm glad she's my friend on Facebook and keeps her postings up to date there.


Today's quote:

The stars are like letters which inscribe themselves at every moment in the sky.

Everything in the world is full of signs. 
All events are coordinated.

All things depend on each other; as has been said:

Everything breathes together.
