oh just stuff....
Pisa is back today. I was so happy to see her that I gave her a hug when she got in.
I am still sick.
I have to go to my training village (Siufaga) and see my Aiga this weekend. It’s mother’s day and I need to see my Tina Samoa. I bought her some really nice fabric to make a new Pulotasi out of. And I will make a batch of chocolate chip cookies to take with me tonight. Oh, plus the two cans of Pisupo (Pisupo is canned corned beef. Samoans love the stuff. I can’t eat it) I got as a gift when I was in Pago. I will have to give it as my parting gift so they don’t try and feed it to me later.
Hopefully I will be back Sunday night.
Wednesday we (some volunteers) had a little Cinqo de Mayo feast! Katie made her tasty chili relleno casserole dish thing. Anne made black beans, I made Spanish rice, and Carry made bean dip. It was good food!
The last bit of big news is… I have sprouts! I have about 22 tomato plant sprouts and 11basil plant sprouts. The rosemary and lavender have not come up yet. I will give them another month and I will stop watering them as much (as they prefer a dryer climate). I have no idea what I am going to do with 22 tomato plants and 11 basil plants. If I had planned better I could have researched finding some discarded boards and built containers for my porch.
Dorie,
Happy Cinco de Mayo,
was there anything that you would need?
I mean supplies and such, send me a request
and I will see if I can round that stuff up.
