" A deep appreciation to the ladies that made us a donation of some beautiful hats for the patients treated with chemotherapy. Our partners in the project little piece of heaven was delivered. Blessings for this valuable input."
This is the picture that accompanied it. I was asked today to keep making hats so they can be given to other hospitals. 5 more hats were collected today and by the end of the meeting, 2 more were done. I explained that now I must make some for ladies in Orosi. What a great project it is turning out to be. One of the ladies in the Paraiso group is a cancer survivor with very short hair and she is crocheting also. She had a hat partially done today and she showed it to me for help. It was mostly my yarn with a few rows in plain gray. I asked what that was because it definitely was not cotton and was very scratchy. She tore it out and one of the other ladies turned in some yarn that matched and I gave her that. The hat was kinda big so I showed her how to do the scalloped edge because that tightens it up.
Next Thursday instead of their afternoon meeting they are taking the bus to San Jose at 8:30 in the morning for shopping and lunch. I'm excited because I have been wanting to go and learn how to navigate it but I didn't want to do it alone. They will keep me from getting in trouble. We are going to have lunch in the central market. It works great because I don't have a massage next Thursday so I don't have to cancel anything.
Also, Ziomara is planning to come here a week from Saturday for a massage and a walk and a visit. Otto has already said he is available. What fun it will be.
At the end of the gathering today, Emilio came by and we went shopping. He took me to the butter store. They sell more than butter but their products are right from the farm. They only had 1 container of butter so I bought it and a bag of grated cheese. We headed to the fruit stand in front of where I catch the bus and I bought 6 mandarina for Tia. She loves them and there aren't any on the tree here.
It has been a very rainy day and it was quite cool in Paraiso. Emilio would say cold. By the time we got to Orosi the temperature was warmer, but still rainy.
I have little scheduled from now until Tuesday morning. I do have to go into Cartago to get my hats and go to the market. Believe it or not I am running out of jelly. I do have a bunch of jars so I can make more. Probably the papaya, pineapple, orange. But who knows, the mango, strawberry is good. I am not a big fan of the mora, strawberry. It is a stronger taste. I may also try more orange marmalade because I like to use it in chicken stir fry.
The one on the left I donated today and the one on the right I gave to Janet for the daughter of the lady at the senior center.
