Message of the day: Picked by Jesse (12) "If you cannot change the skeleton you're stuck with, you might as well make it dance." -Anonymus
"I love to find new people. It's not for the sake of their being new, it's because if you find someone that perfectly fits a part that is a great thing." -Rober DeNiro
Daily Journal: Same schedule, different day. The area around CASEM was much more bustling today...the usual array of dogs but many more people passing through and milling around. It definitely felt like the day after Christmas and everyone came out to enjoy the beautiful weather.
We continued to work primarily outside, as there were many customers for Patricia to attend to inside. So most of us kept on doing what we had been doing. Painting the entranceway roof green, sanding the dismantled streetside sign and getting ready to move on with its own paint job. We were joined by more local workers today, so we also did some extra garden cleaning and wall scrubbing.
Willie, Amy and Patricia departed for the ferreteria to buy more supplies for some of our projects. Upon their return and with clear, dry skies, we got the okay to complete the sanding, painting and varnishing of "the sign"...and back up it went....much to our surprise the neon orange letters really did "pop" or as Ed would say "pap".
Lunch was upstairs today amidst the skeins of wool because many patrons came to have food at the Coop's relatively new restaurant.
Willie and Bridgette began the laborious task of creating files for each of the Coop members and Jesse and Jo and Bella and Catie filled in wherever they could....managing to find the only non-wholesome snacks at Whole Foods and getting a soccer game started with Andrew's help.
After an early dinner we headed out for a Night Tour in the Cloud Forest, arranged by our very capable free-time coordinator. Excellent sloth sighting as well as porcupine, spiders, and a Triceratops.
All in all a good day in spite of the general feeling we could all be doing much more! -Nancy
