Stateside visit continued...

Our Second weekend in the states weas spent at the cabin with family. It was a fun, relaxing weekend. Kris, Reynold, my hubby and I stayed up till Monday. It was quite peaceful after the storm of children left.
There was a lot of fishing done and a lot of blue gills caught. We fried them and ate them much to most peoples thinking they weren't worth dodging the bones over. Hey they are bigger than most we catch in greenz!

Happy Aleah

kids enjoyed the kayaking but were limited in space with all the fishermen

Even the kids enjoyed Kan Jam

What's not to love about drinks that are for the taking whenever?

She's my sister and she has an adorable little guy. Crazy how life changes us so quickly.

Really he does like me...he just has a thing for BIG eyes!

Lots of children. Sixteen to be exact!

Reynold and his big bass catch. My husband did catch one almost the same size also in the Susquehanna! This one made some good eating!

We tried for a family picture...it was a joke! Better luck next time!

 AJ and all his cuteness

They are a troublesome crew

Following a weekend at the cabin my husband and I spent a few days pretty much driving to GA and home again on a chick delivery. Considering that I am the only one that could drive we had to stop once to take a cat nap so I could make it the 16 hours before the chicks suffocated. Did I mention I had enough chick feathers on my skirt I could have got close to stuffing a pillow, the chicks didn't shut up at all once the sun came up(except for 2 seconds when you clapped), and the AC had to be on FULL BLAST THE ENTIRE WAY...because the ones in the back still had their beaks hanging open from the warmth.
All ready to go.

Driving on the outskirts of Atlanta

Our delivery was an hour from a main town. This is what we saw for miles and miles...too many miles actually. I have decided I couldn't live in GA ...or not that part anyway. The manager of the company invited us to stay for lunch in their restaurant. It was a southern setting in every extreme. Mexicans with limited English unloaded the chicks for us. A cheery African lady making the food served us heaping plates of squash, potatoes, strew chicken and cornbread, all washed down with southern brewed tea to wash it down. (did I mention we had just ate sandwiches before we reached?) You can't turn down southern hospitality though. I really wanted to take a picture of my large plate of food but the owner was sitting across from us trying to convince my husband to come work for him...whether he has a green card or not. In fact he could get him any color card if he wanted! *lame* After driving in the middle of no where for so long we were far from convinced!

after our delivery we opened all the windows up and the chick fuzz flew everywhere!

We got a motel for a few hours so I could get some sleep to make it the next 16 hours. It wasn't the nicest but it helped and we were soon on the road again.

Until the next blog...have a super weekend.
This is who I have been enjoying the last two days! Simply wonderful!

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

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...
