Things do work out

The Cell phone rang pretty early yesterday I answered "buena dias" the man spoke in english.He said his name was Julio, he said his brother had told him about the car in the lot next to my apartment. Now I never spoke to the nieghbor here about the car. But one of the neighbors told someone else and told someone else and this man called from the number on the car.

Here I spent days of calling this one and that one and no one responded. Then a man calls that I hadn't talk to, and he wants to purchase the car.

Things do work out as I said, not ever in my time. I was almost at an total end here. No money period for food..Not even money to purchase water. He came we talked... he obviously saw I am a nice lady. He had such compassion in his eyes for me, that just looking into his eyes made me tear up a little. I was trying to hold my composure and be strong in front of this total stranger trying not to cry. The things he said, the questions he was asking me .. it was difficult not to break and cry. He invited me to eat at the little soda. We rode in his tiny mini van only a block away and sat and talked at the table.

He decided to go ahead and buy the car, even though he wasn't interested in it. He was told it was a different mark, but after seeing me and talking to me. I know he felt compassion and wanted to help.

He called me several times yesterday, said if I needed anything to call me. Nice gestures. Today he comes at 1:30 with the lawyers to sign the papers to take the car.

HE showed up for the car, there was a little glick in the plan. I had to pay the Marchamo, this is a yearly fee.For my car it was $250.00 I didn't have the money in order to sell the car that has to be paid. So he took that out of the sale of the car... then there was more. They did the run on the car and found four tickets, NOT MINE! One was Clint to the tune of $100 dollars, Tony's $100 dollars, Diegos$20.00 and Cristhians $50.00 Now that had to be deducted in order to pay for the Marchamo! now I am short $520 dollars from the small amount already that he paid. I didn't get mad or upset, I went right to Diego and told him to pay he said this week.

I came home Wrote Clint and ask him to send me the hundred! I hope he does that will be a miracle. And now i have to talk to Cristhian and Tony. Cristhian I know wont pay hes lost... Tony I will call and tell him.

So one step out of the Mire...

I have not baked, I could't get a ride to the big store. I don't have much money to purchase things so maybe as I said yesterday this is not the route for me. But I need to make cash.

Although the amount of the car is little, I am thrilled and so grateful that now this is one issue that is going to be resolved. The time I waited was waisted, but a learning did come from it.

Sounds silly but often when I would walk into town, I would imagine myself driving a beautiful Suv or a truck.. while walking. I would see nice cars and say to myself God I want that.. and think how nice to be inside an air conditioned car and be confortable. In stead of walking in drop dead heat! But hey I get exercise!

I hardly ever walked when I was in the states. Walking is a great way to clear the mind,and to get the heart and blood well.

Today at the soda, I went alone as usual.. I saw Hannah and Shawn. This is a couple I know here from the states. They are doing exceptionally well. Brand new car and great clothes. Surfing all the time. Traveling all over. They work in Real estate, and said they are really busy. I think that is terrific. She did make a statement wow your really skinny. What is going on? why are you letting this place waist you away when you have so many talents? Explaining my position is nearly impossible.
Rather than explain I just tried to talk about the good things I am looking forward to.

The visit to Puerto Jimenez, the weekend. The car being sold... Just happy thoughts.


Hannah knows me on many levels, I designed there wedding at Villa Colletas, when I had a cast on my leg. I also was their co ordinator for the rehearsal and the day of. At the end of the wedding I past out. I had that bacterial infection it had entered my blood stream. I forced myself to do this wedding she did not know I was ill. I was vomiting, while making all the flowers for the reception and the wedding. I would lie down the between vomits, I was deathly ill prior to this wedding. I had two people help me set up all the flowers pin things on and decorate the Asiles but I did most of the work in that cast, with crutches. I made it right to the very end, got the dinner on my plate and passed out.
That next morning I was taken to the hospital and admitted and stayed for almost a month .
So Hannah and I sort of have a connection. she only found out about this two months after the wedding.

I designed one of her offices for Remax, only one little one. We did furniture, paint and new doors. We did the landscape outside. The total job amounted to$3000.00 Not alot for what I did.

I did a nice party for them too where I cooked a first class meal for 12 people.
So Hannah knows me. After making small talk, they got their food, got into the suv , I waved as I walked back to the apartment

Maybe this meeting will result in some sort good thing!

Well happy day! TORTUGA ES NO MAS! I called the car the turtle.. It was so slow now its no more... Poor tortuga!
