N.Y.C.

I wasn't functioning to well in my late night shopping endeavors at Walmart. Maybe that is why the guys in the card isle were acting so stupidy! Hmm...just maybe? Either way this coffee did the trick. It usually does...and since when do not all Wendy's have "special" coffee drinks? I didn't let it ruin my already you know what sort of night!

The weeks keep rolling by. Almost 6 weeks ago I returned. I wouldn't want to redo those weeks again. In all honesty they have been some of the best weeks of my life as well as some of the most trying and frustrating. It is complicated how this life can be. IT IS WHAT IT IS!

Last weekend was spent in the BIG APPLE...yes NYC! 
I love the independency of taking that subway just right where I wanna be. 

Brenda and I spent the day doing what is a good thing to do there. Fabric shopping!
We parked in Brooklyn and took the subway from there so no parking had to be paid. The subway is far more fun anyway!

Fashion District...the needle and button!
 

The day was not without excitement. The police shot a man half a block from where we were. I think all the NYPD were there..or so the swarms seemed. 

cute cafes

lunch from a buffet...it was as amazing as it looks

the city life is fun for a day!
But I guess this is what it does to you!

 We spent some time at a family birthday party.
It was fun to meet new people and see some familiar faces again.

 Tim and Peggy took us to a wonderful seafood restaurant. We had an almost 2 hour wait to get in so the guys enjoyed pizza from a nearby restaurant while we women indulged in Starbucks.
..the wait was so worth it!

 Brenda and I split the Lobster feast..which included lobster and crab legs. The crab legs were the best I ever had. The feast was finished in no time!

 Shrimp prepared in many ways!

The trip ended with a stop at Cabela's. It was my first time there ever.
The weekend was good.We all need to get away sometimes and do random things and that is exactly what the weekend was. Nothing that happened was planned ahead of time...we moved as they do in Grenada. I was ok with that. I guess the majority were Grenadians so that's how "things does be."

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

of police and goodbyes

Image
It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo
