I think, I think, I think

At least for now the bugs are gone. You would be too if you had to live in a garden that smells like mine. Definitely not a nice flowery smell. Whatever Gerardo gave me smells like cayenne pepper and yesterday I put the garlic mixture on everything. And, just for good measure I sprinkled all the cooked garlic all over the garden. I will wait and watch before I do the next dose. They didn't get the beautiful orchid but the flowers are done so now I can plant it in one of my big planters. I wanted to wait until it was done blooming.

Last night Katherine and I were messaging and she said for school today Courtney needed to dress like a chef and she had nothing. As I was figuring out how I could help she said Courtney had changed her mind and wanted to be a painter. I said she needs a beret and she said she didn't have anything. I think it took me about a half hour to make her one and deliver it. She looked so cute this morning.

Katherine and her family are involved in various gluten free flours that are now becoming available in the US. Yuca, banana and now breadfruit. The idea is to be as close to wheat as possible without having to add a lot of other ingredients. Today I made a loaf of regular strawberry bread and a loaf using breadfruit flour. We will try them for coffee. I didn't use any baking powder so it isn't as tall as the one with baking powder. I will try it again using some and see how it works.

Tomorrow Kaye and Harvey Richard get here and our busy week of fun begins. The indigenous guide has been confirmed for our day to Bribri and Jose will be available the whole time they are here to make things easier.

The house is pretty clean, the curtains are back up, I have moved to the guest bedroom and mine is all ready for Kaye, the massage table is ready. I have a little last minute shopping to do tomorrow but I think I am in pretty good shape. We leave here at 5:00pm.
