Dylan

I've got this little boy, and in his adventurous head,
Are dinosaurs, pirates and alien stories and many more ahead.
He struts around all day, playing with his imaginary friends,
From sun up to sun down, the daring excitements never ends.

He's Mario one minute and Ben 10 too,
He's got many characters to play, and he does not know which one to choose.
At home and in the schoolyard he is busy at play,
He steps around everyone, for no one can stand in his way.

Cause when his imagination starts taking flight,
He is determined to finish it, with all his might.
He must complete the story in his head,
And even when the lights go off, he continues them in bed. 

I love his imagination, I love his little mind,
It creates such wondrous worlds no one else can find.
But when he goes there, I know it's his dreams coming true,
It's almost as if  he opened up his favorite book, and out the pictures flew.

So every night, after a story is  read, 
When he is alone, I know he is creating a new one in his head.
I wish I could see them, hear him tell every one,
I am sure it would be magical, I am sure it will be fun. 

Each adventure is like a precious diamond,
Very rear, captivating and seldom found.
They would be unique, the best in the land,
Cause they came from someone special, they came from Dylan.

Family Traditions!!!!

If it is one thing I look forward to around this time is the Carreira's Christmas Tree Family Tradition! Founded by ME :) my sisters and my mom started visiting (or going house to house) homes to help decorate the Christmas Tree as well as decorate the home. When my son was not even a year old was when this tradition began... in my home in Port of Spain. Now 8 years later it has become a Family get together, food and drinks sharing .... and putting up the decorations. I LOVE it. Coming from a home with many siblings (3 brother and 3 sister ... most married with children) it is great when most gather and the house is filled with everyone. Lets just say it is a lot of laughs, bickering, laughs ... silent moments when our mouths are filled with food ... and then delegation on the work area. Did I mention I LOVE it. So here are some pics of the end result. My home is now filled with Christmas ... and I have to start wrapping present. :) This picture shows my mom, a...

She called her 'Gan'

My mother when she was a little girl, was dressed in a crown of flowers, a new dress and shoes and went to throw petals at the feet of her grandmother at the Santa Rosa Festival in Trinidad. You see her grandmother was a Carib Queen and every year they celebrated this Catholic festival in Arima, Trindad. I have never experienced this and though the Carib bloodline is being passed on through me, there is not much I can say about my heritage. In jest I would tell other who ask what I am mixed with, I would say "my people were here first... we did not arrive by boat... we were natives." But I really do not know what that really means. I do not know how to live off the land. In fact I kill all plants and animals that enter my home. I should put a sign ... "Enter at your own risk!" But I do want to understand this particular part of my ancestry. Although I am mixed with Chinese, Spanish, Scottish and Protégées, I have always been curious of the one culture that was h...

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...
