Tia is going to miss me

I just gave Gerardo the dream catchers and took my bag of potatoes, carrots, garlic and lettuce to Ana. I was invited for lunch and met Ana's son, a very nice young man 23 years old. He is the baby. He is a mechanic and was on his way to a job interview. He lives in Orosi but works in San Jose. He works for Volvo now but is interviewing with Nissan. Lunch was Gallo Pinto, carne with potatoes and carrots, squash and little bananas that are cooked while still green. It was very good. I came back to my house for Mounds Balls and told them about my no more chocolate for a month line from the Super Mercado. I will package a few for Jose and give them the rest. Gerardo had one, went and did something and came back and got another one since he won't have any for a month. 
I also made arrangements that someone will clean my floors and the cobwebs just before I come back so I won't come back to bugs and the planters that don't get watered by the rain will get watered. 
I am pretty much packed and the house is sprayed and everything I could put in the refrigerator is in there. I just have to leave a set of keys and change clothes and check my list. Jose will be here about 5:00pm. I will miss my little house and everything about Orosi and the people I have met here. As Tia and Ana just told me, a month will go fast and I will be back in Costa Rica. 
At the same time, I am excited about the next. Month and all the people I will see and the adventures I will have. Just don't get me started with stories. When I had been here a month it took me 3 1/2 hours to tell all about it! Now it has been 3 months so it will take all day!
