and Mr. was just about to bust loose .... anyhoo - it was soon cleaned up ~

~~~

ok - back to TeenDawta birthday dinner ...

Shelly and Aunty Lu across the road had been each cooking up all that food ... it was ready.

the rain had passed - Damion and his crew had come in from the bush - ready fi eat

notice - there was no home made mac n cheese pon my plate??

well - of course - he had trouble getting our new oven to light, so he went over to Jacynth's kitchen and baked it off ... he did it so nice.

had to cab it over to Dias ... when he reached Lucea - he saw Fire just come in for Dawta from school ...

the arrived just as we were finished with the first phase of eatting ...

but - he tasted this right away ... and ate a nice heap of it.

HE LIKED IT ~

WOOO HOOO -

Re: To Quote A Phrase ~

Lizzie ... that is a really good question ...

I sure could not be able to get any bra shopping for myself down there. I had gone too - just prior to my trip to replenish my bra collection ... try try and try some more.

and - there is no such thing as getting your money back for a return / exchange if something is not right ... you are just stuck with it.

fortunately - I got some that fit TeenDawta on sale at Target ... she has a nice collection going for herself now too.

Rootsie ... so much good luvin all around these folks. I really need Matthew to come and find some joy there as well. it is just all so sooo good.

Seveen ... I am so very blessed ...

good fun ~

Hi SistaCaf ... did not call after you earlier ...

he really is doing such a nice sweet job on our place ~ we chat about an idea ... and he works out his vision.

he is currently working on the roof for the verandah off the kitchen .. then the floor for that space as well; with the raining season coming on ... need to roof that space so the kitchen door can be protected from the full on rain and mud elements ~
