Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home
On the way back down the mountain, I tried to get pictures of everything I missed on the way up. Just as I was amazed at the sights on the way up, I was equally amazed at the sights on the way down. Most amazing was an old man riding a donkey down the mountain and an old woman walking down the mountain barefoot balancing a huge basket full of ‘stuff’ on her head and knitting as she walked. Yes KNITTING!
In my memory of that day, I see auras around everyone there – all the Girlfriends and all the people we met. I think, ‘Wow, what an amazing life I have to be able to go to a place where my spirit sings, and what an amazing God I have who blesses me with the opportunity to go, the patience and intelligence to be appreciate new experiences, and the hope that I’ll get back soon!’Comment

When is your birthday? I'll send your gift, but just know that the gold may magically change into clay beads during shipping. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]Comment

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home
we used to make playdough.
it's very easy to make.
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 cups water
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup cream of tartar (or 1 part baking powder and 1 part baking soda.)
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook and stir over low/medium heat until play dough is completely formed and no longer sticky. Allow to cool slightly before storing in an air tight container or zip lock bag.Comment

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home
It really wasn't play dough they wanted, but modling clay. Play dough dries out too fast.
Nappi your description of the Nine Mile day is marvelous. I am glad that it spoke to your spirit. I knew it would.Comment

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home
Napi, I'm really enjoying your report. I love your writing style. I remember Vi's description of the climb to Skycastles, but your talk of scaling the hill makes me doubly glad we did not stay there in September.
This really cracked me up because when we were there I had a guy sniffing around me and my friend said this same thing. First she commented that he was marking his territory, then later she said she thought he had succeeded in pee'ing all around me. Cracked me up.Originally posted by NapiHead327:

Auntie M says it’s like they’re lifting their leg and pissing on you to let everyone else know what’s up. [/qb]
Looking forward to the rest of the report.Comment

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home
Napi I'm enjoying this report so much.
It warms the my heart to re-live past adventures through someones trip report. It was a wierd feeling I had visiting Bob for the first time.
Still can't explain it.
Your gift of school supplies did make a differance, plain and simple, you'll be back.
And thats a good thing.
If you look at the Big picture, your little group brought so much to Jamaica, Vi's huge suitcase, Angies boxes, and all the others contributions add up.
That's the whole point, think about how many kids will benifit from your group alone.
It's amazing the things I've seen over the years at little schools like this.
Boardies do make a differance.And computers are not out of the question, just a challenge.
Blessings to you all.Comment

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home
Stan, weird is a good word to describe it. Really, I was speechless the whole tour. The guide was singing and I wanted to sing with him but the lyrics to Bob's songs wouldn't come out. I would fix my mouth to say something and then couldn't say it. Thanks for tagging along. I hope to finish the report this weekend. And then you'll have to stay tuned for Vi's report.
Auntie M, thanks for clearing that up. Modeling clay - I think I can get that at Michael's Arts & Crafts.
Jazzlvr, so you know what I mean about 'being hooked up JA-style'. I swear, they see you, grab you, and it's on from there - no ifs ands or buts about it. They have you, and they think they have you forever. I guess in it's own way, that's flattering - maybe?
Monk, you got a recipe for modeling clay?
Evan, have 2 for me, not just one, please. Here's to hoping you get over your cold. Enjoy your weekend. Wish I was there.Comment

Re: Ochi - My Home Sweet Home
Great photos!! Fun Report ...
What type of camera?? I had a new digital - Canon Power Shot A75, but not being familiar with it, even the few I took with that were a bit of flop!
MUST LEARN, MUST LEARN!!Comment
