Cambio
Demasiado calor y sin acondicionador de aire, también estuve enferma…pregunté a mi si está buena idea para venir? Afortunadamente, yo recupere y ajuste en unos días. Gracias para la oportunidad de visitar los pueblos y aprender la cultura de Cataluña (lo mejor de locales, gracias a mi amiga y su familia.)
Best Wish, Shef
More than 4 years ago, I had talked with friends about “home food network” to provide opportunities for people who stay home (& love cooking) and in-transition from another culture as well as celebrating diverse culture. I heard questions from people about food safety, logistics… Today I came across Shef – explore home cooked meals …
Serendipity
House is again not able to be closed. More drag yet I appreciate the serendipity: it gives me additional time to discuss with other unit’s tenants. It also enables me to take a trip back to CT sooner, to visit some old friends after 3-4 years. Stay positive and appreciative no matter what! Everything will …
Happy Mother’s Day
Last year I spent Mother’s Day with my Costa Rica family. We had a picnic at a son’s front yard, I helped plant 3 mango trees there; then “mama” and I headed to family’s 2nd home, a place I love in the mountain area. We enjoyed yucca, chorizo, tortilla on the stone bar with “papa” …

Regardless of the topics, Joe was able to tell a story and put the …
Blessing
It would be lovely to close the purchase; a home would be a big present for myself yet confirming extension and lock-in rate offered assurance. I ran to Starbucks to claim my free b-day coffee yet it closed earlier, well, good day (much warmer than the past 2 days) to run and get fresh air. …

Feliz Cumpleaños, Mamá!
I returned Costa Rica to celebrate ‘mama*’ 70 birthday. We took a weekend getaway to Rio Celeste. We spent 1st afternoon in the ‘tree’ maze (interesting culture difference, in US, maze is usually seasonal, made of dried corn after harvest in the fall yet in CR, the maze are green trees, I guess year-round?). We …
Happy New Year and I’m Lucky!
Happy new year! Welcome 2022 with mom, dad, sister, and niece; due to pandemic, we stayed home and enjoyed the best “mom” food. After dinner, we walked to a nearby department store to see the holiday decoration then counted down virtually watching celebration parties on TV. Chinese New Year has brought more travelers home, shorter …
