Is it Really Christmas?

Yesterday was a calm and simple day. I walked into town only after paying all my bills the electrical that they cut off in the morning, the phone, the cell, the internet. I was surprised, each bill was a little over 8700 colones, which is about 17 dollars, each. All the bills where that. Strange but good. I had enough to cover it. Earlier in the day I just wanted to stay home and not go out at all. I felt so down. After chatting with my son, I got cleaned up and went on my way. It was after the chat they cut the electricity so that sort of forced me out of the house.

I walked to town,
saw that there was a new Italian deli. I went and looked and decided to eat a salad with Parmesean, spinach and mushrooms. As I sat there in the front of this little tiny deli. I thought about my mother, and all the wonderfull things she would bake and make, when I was growing up.
She taught me how do most of it.I asked the man in the deli if they had Italian pastries? and he said no I said are you going to make them he said no. I said well I know how, If I make some would you buy them from me? He said he would like to try.

Hmmmm well another idea popped into my head. I am reaching for anything right now to make money JUST ANYTHING.. but my cooking is pretty darn good so I thought let me see how I can do this.

Continuing down the main road to the office, Not one thing going on. Talked with the people inside, and then did some mail.
I went to grab a gator aid, feeling dehigerated. I saw in a case pastries they sell at this little pulpera. ( small grocery store) They didn't look so hot. I ask where they bought them he told me a german bakery from San Jose.
I said I can make some, only they should be better there local.
He smiled, and we talked for a half hour about the car, what I do, where my office is and in general just talk. He took my phone number ask me to meet him back there at 6:30 to go and see the car. He suggested to get another person to look at. I already had two, but it can not hurt.

I went at six thirty, we rode and saw, the boys insisted that the car is going to be fine. We listened and then upon driving off I said do you believe that? are you really believeing what they say? He said no he knew just like I do that its not going to be fixed.

As soon as we drove off he asked me for dinner, he said would you like to eat something? I said sure ok? so we drove to the very end of town.
