Sunday April 7, 2013  update #415

Bella apparently was up ½ the night retching for reasons unknown.   However she felt well enough by lunchtime to go meet with her Bridge Club, so off she went.

I spent most of the morning preparing our documents to go to either Guayaquil or Quito to cash in our CD from Banco Territorial.   We want to wait to talk to the person we  were referred to by the Banking Superintendent so we do things just once, and in one day,   We are both too darn busy at this particular time to waste our time needlessly.   Bella will get confirmation on how to fill in our claims forms in Spanish while I have made colour copies of the other necessary documents.    We should be ready to fly or bus at a moment’s notice.

The afternoon I spent redoing half the paperwork for the Hearts Of Gold Silent Auction and Sale happening in a scant 6 days.   We already have 79 confirmed items for the tables, not counting sale items, and I expect a flood of late items in the next 2 days from some volunteers that have missed the last meeting.

The Auction should go off well, we are as organized as we can be.  My only fear is that I will get stuck lugging heavy tables, etc, up and down those stairs.   Saturday will be one loooooong day.

Sorry no photos today, never got out of the house, but there were 2 uploads yesterday….

That was today’s excitement.   Hugs to all.  Please see all new photos at http://souvenircuenca.blogspot.com/
