This has been a bounteous week for us. Our friends Tom and Lee returned from a trip to the U.S.A. and brought us a package of Twizzlers and a new mouse for Lance's computer. We can't find Twizzlers here so they are always a treat.
As you can see, their bag of Twizzlers is almost empty:
Next, my friend Rosa from Vancouver Island, B.C., arrived yesterday for her first visit to Costa Rica. Her friend Shannon was with her. We met today at AntaƱo's for coffee and Rosa brought me new art supplies. She bought them for me at Dick Blick's in Portland, Oregon. I emailed her my order then paid her back via PayPal. The Golden brand of acrylic paints, very high end artist's quality, is simply not available here. I've been unable to find decent hanging wire either so all of these supplies are most welcome.
Rosa is a glass artist (Fantabulous Glass) and you can view her beautiful work here.
And .... Rosa also brought three packages of Twizzlers! What timing - just when we were down to our last few.
"Muling" is a common way of getting products from Canada and the U.S.A. that are unavailable here.
