Back to church

As you know, Emilio and I spent all morning creating the planter I have been wanting. Well, I carried things and made suggestions, Emilio did the building and creating and design. We took a break for lunch from the soda next to the Super. I really do like there chicken Casado. It is kinda stir fried and there were beans and a lovely salad and chayote and corn. I didn't think I was that hungry but I ate it all. No arroz so it is an amount I can eat.
Here is the latest version of the planter. Some of the cactus are planted. The rest is just setting there to make sure that is where I want them. I will add more dirt in the lower areas and thought I might plant some vine fruit or vegetables. Still lots of work to do but it is coming along. See the hen and chicks, Janice and Jack!


I want to edge the outside with rocks. I have plenty here of all sizes.
Aura posted a notice that there would be a mass at 6:00pm for her husband so I got cleaned up and took the 5:15 bus to Paraiso. There were a half dozen of the craft ladies there and after the Mass we went to Aura's house which is next to where we meet on Thursdays and said the rosary. They said. I would say the second half of the Hail Mary quietly in English.
After the rosary and prayers they served cake and sweet breads and beverages.
Emilio walked me to the bus stop but it was just leaving as we got close. He waved it down and they stopped and let me on. It was after 8:00 when I got home. 
Now I have a day for projects, or not, we'll see.
Tomorrow morning I will go to Cartago to get my hair cut and then meet Ziomara at 1:00pm. I am taking her all the hats I have to let her pick for her coworkers wife. I gave Emilio 5 to take to Anita for people she has mentioned. I have told them all that all I need are pictures for the ladies here in Orosi who made them.
In case you notice, the big leafed plant is gone. I was told it was a weed and Gerardo took care of it. Now I have to guard the pink and green leafed plant. They say those are weeds too but I love them.
