another week over

Another week has come and gone already. Time isn't stopping. Practicing for sports day is a big thing at school right now. 
 taking a lime while waiting to run

 Older students practicing

 Yes this is my dear student Maleah. She makes me laugh all the time! Good or bad?? I am not sure!

one of the students had my camera...Leandrah is a cute one!

 My dear Nigel...he is so lovey these days! I think the girls are affecting him :)


 Pretty sure I would never participate in this race!

And then the Prince and Princess came to Grenada on a ship. We were told they were passing by the main road so we packed up and waited at the bus stop. Not too long later a forerunner passed and gave us flags and said in another 5 minutes they should reach. 

 Patiently waiting

 Flags in hand and ready!


 Police escort...followed by Prince Edwards in the white car and Princess Sophia in the black car!
Prince Edward is the youngest son of Queen Elisabeth II and is seventh in line to the throne.

 I was vex I didn't get a picture of him. He is in the back right here. My picture through the open back window just so missed him!

 He insisted on having a picture as we watched the procession. Everyday I see him he is wearing a Bob Marley shirt. If I must say so he does really look like the picture!

 some more men lime'n wanting a picture taken!

and then...back to school. 
The weeks of school are just flying so fast I am getting a little worried about school being finished before I am ready for it. Yes you are hearing right. I do not want school to finish! 
On Leap Day I was explaining to my students that in Scotland on that day a man was required to say yes to the woman if she proposed to him. I told them I am considering! They were not to happy about that thought so guess that isn't an option. On another note my one student was trying to read the word "windmill" to me and said mindwheel. She stopped and couldn't figure out how she mixed it up. I burst out laughing...much to my shame and she was like "MISS." Upon taking her time she soon figured out what she did and was laughing! It is the little things in a day that keep me going! Gotta love kids!

Art Class...definitely not my favorite part of the week but if I have my dear crafts from Oriental Trading I am set to go


the beach days have been giving us these promises quite frequently these days...oh well after the rain comes the sunshine so we are surviving the passing showers!

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp

If only I could fit in it and sleep as well! Drew looking all professional! Shivani....one of the sweetest you will meet! Warming up to granny from some very safe arms! Visited Thaddeus on work so of course we got a lot of fruits to sample!  One of my favorite pictures of the whole trip. We did a lot of this....too much for my liking but with a cranky child, home was easiest! Khali Kayla goggle goober The beach was fun till he got tired.
