Costa Rican Time

I have already been informed that we did not post last week and what was going on with that ?

Well, you could say we have eased into living on Costa Rican Time............Oh No, so far from it!

We had our final yard sale on Saturday of the Labor Day weekend and it took 2 days to prep for.......... OMG ..........where did all of the stuff come from since we already had 2 previous yard sales of fine collectables and antiques .    One mans trash is another mans treasure or is that our treasures are another mans trash, anyway...........Our daughter moved back home and that meant she had things to sell ,  and my parents  got caught up in thinning out some things they had overlooked several years earlier when they downsized or as my mother says, "Cleaned Out", so we had extra  "treasures" to unload.   Made some cash, Yea.......that means we can get a washer and dryer for our casa.   Took us 2 days to recuperate, not kidding.........what was left went to Goodwill.......NO MORE YARD SALES.

So, the rest of the week should have been a breeze...........WRONG,  it was time to sell our beloved gas guzzling truck........and as my wife has so graciously pointed out on more then one occasion that I may suffer from OCD or in my case CDO  ( all the letters are then in exact order )...........the truck has got to be CLEAN before I sell it.  Spent 2 days waxing detailing and listing it on the Internet and local sale magazine along with putting a For Sale sign in the window and parking it along the  highway on Thursday morning...........SOLD in one day............what were we thinking.  Here we had suffered days of anxiety over asking price,  is it going to sell,  are there people out there in this tight economy with money..........Yes to all of the above .

Are we happy..........Oh Yeah .  Now we are hitting the home stretch with 106 days left , so you know what the title of next weeks post is going to be,  "Our Last 100 Days".  Our focus now is to refine our packing lists,  see our doctors one more time to make sure we don't really need those straight jackets,  get our licenses renewed and just BREATHE !
