It has been a day!
Thank you to everyone, in Costa Rica and the States who have been concerned about me. I really am better. My leg is good and I didn't have any bad muscle spasms today. My back is still a little sore but so much better. I don't know if it is the soap in my bed or the massage or a combination of both. I moved very slow and carefully today. I worked on dream catchers and made up a shopping list for tomorrow and decided I would make Cinnamon Roll Cake and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. This morning Gerardo brought me Arroz con Leche with coconut. Very good. I have the plate from Ana's lunch yesterday and the dish from the rice so I need things to put on them when I send them back.
This evening Gerardo brought Tia to my porch so she could say hello and see how I was doing. She even brought me a cane in case I needed it to walk. I showed her I was doing much better and could walk without it. She loved my flowers.
Now, my big news. When I was in Atenas in March I met John and Debbie from Prince Edward Island in Canada. Really nice couple and I enjoyed them very much. We started talking today and I told her more about this area and they asked me to look for a place from Jan. 1st until May 31st. I put the word out to Jose and showed Gerardo my translast program when he brought Tia. He explained he is remodeling an area on the other side of the courtyard to add a one bedroom apt. It will be ready in September and they would be able to stay in the compound. We are all really excited. It will be so fun to have them here. And, my sister in law from Little Falls is taking a cruise with a friend that will stop in Limon, Costa Rica. Just all kinds of exciting things.

We booked our cruise on Friday with Holland cruise lines, Feb. 15-26th, and got it a little cheaper with an extra night, still the Panama Canal. We will be stopping in Limon, and is one of the longer times we will be in port. I have to check the exact day and time, and let you know. How far is it to Limon from your place? I'm really excited to go!! We have a veranda room right now, but could get upgraded down the road. We went through Bursch Travel, Amy Wolfe is our agent. I told her you were my sister-in-law, and she asked if you were liking Costa Rica.
Hola Gayle! So happy to hear you are feeling better :) Send some of those Mounds bars this way por favor!
A cup of sweetened condensed milk and 3 cups of coconut. Shape into balls or squeeze in the palm of your hand into little logs. Very sticky. Freeze for a half hour. Dip in melted chocolate and that is it. I keep them in the freezer if they last past the first day.
