Sunday, March 6, 2022 - Spending Sunday with the Family

Bright and early this morning I got an email from American Airlines saying that I need to complete the contact tracing form now, or we won't be allowed to check-in or board our flight. So I took care of that immediately; one less thing to do tomorrow, when we would have to take our covid test, etc.

We went to the kitchen and ate breakfast with the family. Aida had made us a delicious breakfast scrambled eggs with ham, bread, bologna, and coffee.

The family led us into the left-most guest house, where they had built a fire in the newly rebuilt fireplace. It has been so cold and rainy so often recently that the whole family seemed cold to the core and needed a fire to warm up.

After enjoying the fire, we went back to our casita to conduct an inventory of our belongings and start packing up. We keep certain toiletries and items down here so that we don't need to bring them every time, so we needed to see if we needed to replenish any of our stocks the next time we visit.

For lunch, Aida prepared steak, lentils, broccoli, carrots, and a fried plantain

Shina and Yupanqui did their homework at the kitchen table. We noticed that the refrigerators had been scribbled on with magic markers. One could only assume that the culprit was the little one with marker all over her face and sweater, Adeliz Dashel.

Yupanqui gave us each a bouquet of flowers that he had picked. He's a very thoughtful kid.

We spoke with Sisa about her school and her music studies. We are so proud of her!

For dinner we had beef stew with noodles.

Antonio and Aida noticed the marker all over the two fridges, and Antonio started to clean it. Adeliz Dashel, never wanting to be left out, insisted that she be the one to wash it off. Fortunately, it came right off with a wet cloth.
