Have you seen the Banana Bread Man?

I was just sitting here chatting with Karla and Erika via messages and watching some garbage on Lifetime when a cool ad caught my eye. It was in Spanish about saying NO to corruption.

I thought, "Wow! That's cool!" It was really well done. At the end the logo for the place where I serve flashed across the screen! It was done by the people I work with!

Last week I was driving on the main highway (El Anillo) when I noticed two huge billboards also against corruption which my organization did. I'll take a photo of the billboards this week.

Today I got my car back again. I hope this will hold up for a while.

I made three loaves of banana bread and tried to deliver one loaf to the lady who gave me all of the free bananas, but she wasn't there. All of the other vendors are as concerned as I am. She and her father work there every day. I am afraid her father may have died. He's been sick a lot, but she still works if he's sick. So, if neither of them are there on a busy Saturday we have reason to be concerned.

I hope they are busy celebrating some positive event.

Lately I've noticed that people I always thought would be part of my life are fading away. I feel like I am doing my best to maintain contact. At one point I thought maybe I was sending too many emails, so I've cut back to when exciting things happen. But it seems like only a couple of people still really care about what and how I'm doing. It's disappointing. But I guess it's a fact of life.

I am trying to focus on being grateful for the people who DO maintain contact despite their busy lives. If you are reading this, then you are certainly one of those people, so thank you. I am grateful for you and thankful that you are in my life!
