Playing Catch-up with the Summer Blog Challenge #16 to 21

Sorry for the bundle up but I have been pretty busy with closing up the school year. But it is better late than never ... and I do throughly enjoy sharing this information with you all. I hope you enjoy the read.


I am not a couch potato or a fitness guru… I would like to consider myself actively aware of my health and taking necessary steps to keep in shape. Recently I purchased a treadmill to exercise at home and am 90% conscious of what I put in my mouth.


Ultimately I just want to have a healthy body and a tone physique… but this is easier said than done.

I remember when I was a teenage my High School teacher told me “to stay as sweet as you are”. I do not know about the sweet part but I do know I am a very helpful person. I am always willing to help other and do not expect anything in return.

Another quality I have … or more like a gift… is common sense. You would be amazed at how many people do now know how to use their common sense to get them out of a stick situation or problem. I consider myself a quick thinker when it comes to finding an immediate solution to a problem.
The pipe is leaking… wrap it with duct tape and then call the plumber.
If my son’s school pants get a hole… staple it together for now and then sew it when he gets home.
When our vice principle fell and broke her arm … I was the only one who instructed the nurse to use a ruler to brace the injury.

As for the last quality I would like to think I am patient.

I am not a baker … I am a lover. So I love to eat sweet treats but you will rarely find me doing the baking part.
So…
I love Tiramisu
I love anything Chocolate Ganache
I love 4 layered Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing.
Basically I just love sugar.

My son got back his end of term report and I am happy with his results. There is always room for improvement… but considering what he has been through with the seizures and the medication … and considering the amount of time we put in trying to prepare him… I am proud of what he got.

The most recent words of wisdom I got was … “ghul do not let dat lady’s attitude eat you up inside”… meaning do not let people get to you.
If you take on everything and what everyone say you will be a very frustrated person.
I had said before in my 15 rules of life … “Know when to hold dem.. and know when to fold dem…” my Kenny Rogers.

My Version of Fall.

I have been seeing on other blogs beautiful pictures of the ever changing and eye stimulating Fall season. Honestly living in Trinidad limits your experiences of the changing seasons and seeing how spring turns to summer to fall and then winter. All I have is endless summer greenery. All I have is the constant warm weather and lush green rain forests. So I have been living vicariously through other blog admiring the Fall pictures and sometimes questioning if it is really true. Then I had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and got to spend the day just lying on a beach and soaking in the sun. So I decided to give you all my version of Fall. And see what we get during the Fall Season. Enjoy.  I visited a beach house in Blanchisseuse Beach and it was attached to 3 different bays. It was fun just splashing in the waves, and fun exploring each bay in the warming sun. This was a bird's eye view of the bay that had clear green water and little watery caves to hide under. My son...

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.
