April 1, 2015

Today we spent the morning preparing for the teen girls to spend Thursday night here.  I made two trips to the $.99 store which is the biggest store in Ataco and where pretty much everything is more than 99 cents.  They do have a pretty good selection of groceries and it is usually our first stop but there are a couple of more places if they do not have something.  Then Charlotte and I went out together about 10:00 to look for several things.   We saw some nail polish and the lady said it was $2 per bottle.  Then she walked off and how much if we bought 5,  he had not heard her so he said 50 cents each.  I told Charlotte to make her choices quick before the lady came back.  We later went to a school supply store where the same nail polish was 60 cents a bottle so we decided the lady just thought we were loaded.   Charlotte found several things she was looking for and then we ran back home had a quick lunch and headed to Juayua.  We had told the Melgars we would be there about noon.  They had really cleaned the house a lot and got a lot put away so it was looking pretty good.  I worked on the table leg and got it pretty stable then we put the table in place and put the chairs around it.  After helping them for a while we went to Sis. Anna and had a study with her.  She said she had a really bad headache so we did not stay as long as usual.  Then we went to visit Sis. Rosa who lives near Sis. Regina and stayed till after 6 so we had to rush to Mr. Rivers.  We had a good study and then Charlotte and I went to Super Selectos in Juayua to get a few more things she needed for tomorrow night.  It was still after 9 US time when we got home but we got to skype with a couple of the kids while we ate dinner.


Dwaine found a cicada.


Close up!


It must have just molted, and very much alive, 
so Dwaine placed it on the window sill after the photo op.
