Anticipating Grenada!

As most mothers and parents secretly wish,
Getting away without the kids is usually hard to accomplish.
But this weekend my husband and I eagerly await,
A vacation in Grenada for 2, we were able to create!!!!

I cannot wait for the clear blue sea,
I cannot wait for it to be just him and me.
I cannot wait for the sunny sky,
To just lie on the beach and watch the day go by.



I wish for all to be able to see,
How important it is for the adults to be free.
To take some time and enjoy just being together,
Making sure they remember why they chose to be ... forever.

My countdown for Grenada is on.... 3 days to go!!!

    Oh, have fun! Grenada is beautiful :) . I left the kids with my dad when we went to Hawaii and again when we went to England. It was as good for them as it was for us.

    Hi Jillian!
    Thank you for stopping by my blog. I stopped by and I am so jealous of your getaway! My husband and I were able to get away to the Bahamas for 5 days this spring, just the two of us. It was so much fun to be just him and me and to rememeber all the things we love about each other.
    Have so much fun!

    xoxo

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. ...

When they smile... I smile

Just a gentle tug at the mouth is all it takes, To fill and make your heart break... To see their faces lit up with so much joy, And its them playing that brings smiles.. not a toy. They innocences of just lying in the grass, Makes me just want them to just stay there till the daylight lass... The cool ground beckons them to relax and stay, And there they lay just giggling and they play. What I would give to watch them like this all day, Because their smiles are precious in every way.

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...
