Day for the Ladies

Since the men spent a day and night on a camping trip the ladies decided to take a day trip as well. With Pastor John as the chauffeur we took a tour around the island. It didn't quite work for everyone to join us.
 Standing from left to right: Amanda Eberly, Sarah Herr, Rachel Brubacker, Jana Mapson, Rose Richards, Crystal, Natalie Martin, Jalane Miller, Leann Lauver, Lori Weaver, Katrina High, Jen Lapp, and Joyce Weaver.
Front: Wilma Schrock, Myself, Ginger Fox and Rhoda Snyder.
The bus was too heavy so we had to unload and walk up the hill!

 Our first stop was Spice Isle Petting Zoo
although I've been there before it was nice to be there and not have little kids to keep an eye on the whole time. These guinea pigs brought back childhood memories!



 Iguanas-if a Grenadian would "hold" (catch) one of these it would be cooked in no time!


 Ginger the baby monkey

Manicou as we call it in Grenada...stateside possum! They are very good to eat!


We also toured the Chinese gardens. They grow the plants and farmers around the island come and take them from there.

Luke-the Chinese man- has lived in Grenada for three years. He said he never heard the name Jesus until some time ago someone gave him a Bible. Pray for him if you think about it!

Morgan was the only child that got to come along. She was a good little trooper!

We ended the day by eating supper at a little restaurant in Grand Anse. It was a lovely day.

This past weekend was a busy one as well but I believe I will leave it for another blog since this one is full of pictures already.

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...
