SANTA CAME bearing a mountain of Toys for Tots this year.

A heartfelt thank you to our friends, clients, partners, and community members who helped make this year’s Toys for Tots campaign incredibly successful and meaningful for the children, parents, and seniors who benefited.

Nearly 4,000 toys were distributed by the dedicated volunteers of the Guanacaste Veterans Association, with several hundred more bringing smiles and Christmas cheer through the Hope Fellowship Ministry.

In total, approximately 5,000 toys were shared, along with countless Christmas parties held throughout our community, spreading love, joy, and holiday spirit to those who might not have otherwise experienced it.

Well, folks, the day we feared has arrived. The legend. The myth. The man who once juggled high end deals, Jack and Coke’s, and five offers before lunch… has officially hit the big six-oh. That’s right. Mike just turned 60, and he’s now sliding face-first into the golden years with all the grace of a howler monkey on a mango bender.

Let’s just call it what it is: he’s over the hill. Not gently coasting—over it. Like, clear-air-turbulence level over it. From here on out, it’s orthopedic flip-flops, suspicious moles, and the occasional  “Wait, what were we talking about again?”

In Costa Rica, there’s no Zillow to get lost in. No MLS to confuse him. Just raw, unfiltered Mike wandering through showings asking why no one uses fax anymore and whether this house comes with a hammock warranty.
