Welcome to a Whole Bunch of New Subscribers & Pura Vida Blessings to All!

Thanks for the many nice notes about me not being at the PZ Feria last week .. was indeed a rarity! Thanks also for so many pre-orders ... our wonderful team handled everything great at the booth! Also, please remember, we can deliver just about anything we offer and do limited shopping at the feria and delivery anywhere in the Southern Zone. Just let us know as much in advance as possible!

We've had some questions about our feria during the upcoming Semana Santa (Holy Week) ... we were told the PZ feria will be open that week on Tuesday & Wednesday, April 16 & 17th ... the organic veggie sellers normally coming on Tuesday.

Our new Madras Curry Hummus at Colibri's Corner (Rincon Colibri) is incredible ... we sold out the last two weeks early! Come by for a taste with Diane's delicious Flaxxxers!

I need your help. I rescued six puppies. They were born in a mountain next to my neighborhood. When I rescued them, they were extremely weak and full of flies...

I bought special food for them and washed them. They have successfully recovered and are now very cute...... They are cute indeed .

Two of the puppies have been adopted but there are four remaining.......If you know of someone who loves dogs, I would really appreciate it.... I can keep these babies no longer. We love these pupies and in case they do not find a home, they will have to stay over here in my house...... thanks so much. Ronald.
