Shameless bump!

As I watched the video, it appeared to me to be only an advertisement urging people to subscribe to their Patreon channel for $15 a month (for residents of Panama) in order to actually receive any pertinent information.

Please correct me should I be mistaken.

THE ACTUAL DATE IS 1 SEPTEMBER!

With all due respect (and compassion), Christmas itself is not cancelled.  Our plans and activities likely have been, unless our plans were to essentially ignore the day.  But Christmas will come.  And those of us who celebrate the so-great gift given to us will rejoice in that, despite everything.

I need a gardener one day a week (preferably Monday).  MUST be reliable and knowledgeable about plants.  English a definite plus, but not absolutely necessary.  Please contact me at tnrnmsg@yahoo.com.  Thank you!

Still "wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin' " for a Riba Smith!

This was a delightful little play, obviously geared toward children. (I think I was the only  -- and oldest -- gringa who attended!)  Presented, of course, in Spanish, with wonderfully exaggerated acting and sight gags, it seemed to captivate the "littles" in the audience.  Despite my own lack of fluency in Spanish, my familiarity with the classic story of Goldilocks enabled me to follow along and enjoy. 

Our biblioteca is a treasure for "children of all ages".  I urge us all to take advantage of it!

We have about 20 soups promised!  Come sample and savor!

Your generosity is epic!  And the Boquete Knitters and Quilters are so grateful to you for your support!

Do you mean the Oasis type that will hold water?  Possibly at Textiles Chiriqui, but I can't be sure.  Or maybe Marie in the little flower shop close to the Fundadores might have some.  How much do you need?  I can check my "flower fixing" stash to see if I have some to spare, if you'd like.

Textiles Chiriqui on the main road close to Mailboxes, Etc, sells tissue paper.  By the sheet. From a display rack close to the front door.  I've not seen the big packages of tissue paper even in David.

"Cloth is just as easy to use and is environment friendly." 

On the other hand, washing diapers by beating them on the rocks in the rivers means that both urine and feces (and soap and perhaps bleach) are released into the rivers.  And that is what happens when the indigenous mothers would be forced to do so because of their circumstances.

Just two more "sleeps"!  And you can indulge in some delicious soups!!!

Eight days until SOUP'S ON!

I think that's a play on radio station call letters, used for this event (Olde Timey Radio Show) only.

And, in radio trivia, radio stations located east of the Mississippi River started their call letters with "W", and those west of the Mississippi started theirs with "K".  For example, WSM is located in Nashville, TN, while KEZK is located in St. Louis, MO.

Oh, how sad!  Hershel and Mikey were  a lovely couple and such an asset to the community.

Oh, thank you!  We will be at the Handicap Foundation in Alto Boquete from 1-3PM today, Friday , 5 January.  Or, if it is more convenient for you, bring it to the Tuesday Market.  I expect to be there, but you could also drop it off with my amigo David Van Harn, who creates the beautiful wood turnings.

And know that we will take the love in your donation and create something warm and beautiful for "our babies"!

Today is the day!!!

Twenty-one (21!!!) soups promised at last count!  I'm pretty sure you can find one you will enjoy.

Great soups for a good cause!  Please come enjoy.

Is there a calligrapher in the (reasonably) local area who could/would letter a brief quotation for me?  At a reasonable price?

Email me at TNRNMSG@YAHOO.COM

Thanks!

"You can't get there from here" is becoming a truism in Boquete...

Maybe a series of speed bumps would do the trick and slow people down?  It would certainly tick them off!

There is also a parking lot across the street from the market.
