Giving and more giving!

Family is given. It is a gift.
It was so much fun to see this little girl again. I think I was more thrilled than her! She had all the attention she could ever get and didn't need any from me!

 A supper at Applebee's reunited with Grenada friends.
Livy and Becky ran wild most of the night while we caught up with each other!

 It snowed. Not once. Not twice...yes three times in one week.
I honestly believe God is testing me. Really truly he is...lol. I must admit it was beautiful but made me long for Grenada even more.
I ventured to a family thing in the snow. I may not see them again for a very long time.


My car remained in the parking lot. I deemed it not fit for the snowy conditions.

 It's been nearly ten years since we graduated. After a lovely meal we looked at pictures and reminisced. I was reminded that aging truly is a good thing. There is absolutely no way I would want to be back in those high school days again. Stacy was missing :(

 Babysitting these kiddos one night. Not sure who is gunna miss each other more!
 Excuse the blurriness. Kids at work!
Owen was sitting here like an old pappy and the girls were crawling all over me right beside him. He got this stern look on his face and said "if you want to act like that go somewhere else to play." Ha...pretty sure he's heard those words somewhere!!!
The baby was more than willing to topple their towers!
A coffee with some tasty cinnamon rolls one morning. Really I will miss those random sis/in law days!
While rummaging through bank papers I found a document stating there were funds I didn't know about. With my mother doing my banking over the years in Grenada neither of us were sure if it was still existent or not. The bank was the only way to find out.
I also found citations from the past...as well as the not so far past. I told myself NO MORE before I leave. I don't know why I do it to myself.
I suppose I should drive roads I know and watch them... not my phone gps. 
 He decided he needed some of those discovered funds that the bank told me were indeed there!
They've made too much money off of me this year. I shall leave the country!
I was warned they are out thick...they get a cut from citations this time of year. (Truth from a man in police training!) I gave to a worthy cause I suppose. Really it was much more enjoyable helping a lady that couldn't find her money at the store though! 
It's all Gods.
I shall leave this place and see if there are other needs elsewhere other than the state.

The countdown is still on. I rarely watch it anymore. I have too much to do...and time is short!

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...
