Byes, lights and a BABY!

Suddenly December is nearly gone. I remember Dec. 1 like it was yesterday.
I am quite ok with this but it meant for lots of getting things done.
I promised them I would stop in and say a final goodbye. They were finishing up school and it was fun to sit down and help them for an hour!

 Melody took me to Christmas Candylane. Of course we chose the coldest night of the week. With borrowed boots, sniffles and lots of clothes we did the rides. The coldness nearly took your breath away when flying through the air. Ending  with some warm coffee was simply amazing!


Excuse the too small beanie. lol. We will leave that story.


This ride was the calmest and most enjoyable.
 
A lot of the lights were buried beneath the snow!

 Went to market with mom. She wanted to go before I leave since she was never at this one before!

This stubborn little black haired miss finally made her appearance on Friday.

 Grandma's "baby" had a baby.
Where has time gone?

 Her nails were monstrous.
Mom and I each clipped a hand.

I love seeing babies cry. You can tell I don't have to listen to it long!

And the proud parents.

~Have a blessed Christmas~

    I dreamed about saying good bye to you. I am really here to comment on that hat. Ha ha. Made my day. I'm sure you'd be getting a real beanie for Christmas if you were not leaving for the isles. I will miss you around these parts. Hope to catch up with you in those isles in days to come.

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...
