A good morning.

I went to the Super Mercado with my container of cookies. There is a meeting room in the back and usually there are only a couple people in ther and the door is always partially open. Today I went in and there were people all around the table. My cookies only lasted as far as the meat market so I have to go back this afternoon and start in the front. Yesterday all I could find was things to make tortillas, nothing for pan. I now have lots of flour and have a batch of bread rising. The word for cookies is galletas but most of the people now say cookies when they see me coming.

Then, the really special thing this morning. I typed the explanation of the dream catcher into my translate program - I have to just hope it translates it right. I knew Ana was with Tia so I grabbed the dream catcher I made for her and headed to her house. as I walked in she said que linda - how pretty. I said it was for her and Ana read what it is for. Tia was so touched, she had tears in her eyes. They made sure they knew where and how to hang it. Made me feel really good. I put in the explanation that I put lots and lots of beads to stop the bad dreams and lots of feathers to help the good dreams get to her.

When I should it to Gerardo, I asked him if he wanted one too. I got an enthusiastic Si. So yesterday I made his and gave it to him. He seemed to really like it and said he would take it to his casa. I didn't get a picture before I gave it to him.

All in all a very good morning. One of the cashiers, when she saw I was buying coconut was raving about how good the Mounds Balls are. Chocolate definitely is a hit. Add coconut and it is just that much better.
