It's Mother's Day.

In Costa Rica, Mother's Day is celebrated on August 15th. It is the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church. Gerardo just came and gave me a hug and a flower for Mother's Day. I gave him a plate of Cinnamon Roll Cake to take to Tia's. What a nice way to start a Saturday morning. I told Heather I get to celebrate both dates - here in August and in the US in May. She said no problem, I just bought you a gift. Every week she goes to the Pick and Save and looks for big suitcases for me to bring stuff here. They run about $2.00 and since there is very little storage in the houses here, I can use them or give them away. I think we are now up to 8 or so.

Feliz día de la Madre to all the mothers out there.
