Re: Champagne Toasts in Sweet Negril!

Sammy, Tee and I missed you so much. You would have loved Miss Cutie and she would have adored you. Next time sistahfriend, next time. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Kojak and Lucky. Drops of liquid sunshine dat! LOL reminds me of sumtin....These little ladies were watching me take those pictures.

"Are you taking pictures for a magazine or something, honey??? Are you a photographer???"

"No ma'am, I just love taking pictures of flowers after the rain. The raindrops on the petals are so big and I want to get them before the sun dries them up."

"Well honey, it's still raining. Don't you feel it?? If you aren't getting paid to be out there, you should wait until it stops. You'll get sick for nothing. You would't want to get sick for no pay do you?"

Another motherly voice sternly chimes in agreement..."Dear..get out of the dyam rain. You'll get sick."

It wasn't a "down pour" rain...just misting... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

I thanked them, put the camera away and stood on my veranda thinking to myself...the risk of getting the sniffles to capture special moments a yaad is worth taking. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

And Sammy, you would be proud to know I didn't even have the urge to [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/fight.gif[/img] dem dung fe cus me.

While we were there, we met Miss Cutie’s grandson Bradley. The highlight of that little stop-over. When I say I fell in love with this baby, I mean it from my soul. The pictures don’t do this baby’s face justice; he is absolutely beautiful in person.

Meet Baby Bradley, 18 months





He let me hold him, steal cheek kisses and walk around without fussing at me. Reminded me of when my son was that age and that puffy.



Miss Cutie is a great hostess. She had us cracking up talking about life and men. If you remember this place, please stop by on your way to the airport, if you have time, and have a stripe with Miss Cutie.

Bye Baby Bradley….Bye Miss Cutie…we will be back so have his diaper bag and toys ready fe me.

We leave there and head to Lucea. On the way I notice the ocean and how it was so agitated. I had to stop.

I had never seen it so rough…not up this close. The crashing sound had us in silence.



We can feel the cool spray with each masculine rise and fall of the waves. The Wind. Oh the wind did blow pon our faces and bodies. Encircling us like a warm, blanket.

It was hard to tear myself away from such an amazing and breathtaking sight.

Mokatee and I chatted with a trio of little boys, gave out some sweeties we had with us, then moved on.

Re: Champagne Toasts in Sweet Negril!

I see a familiar food stand on the roadside in Green Island and ask if we can stop for soup.

Biggahs! I finally catch him after many times passing through. I can taste that roasted conch before we even get out the car. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hungry.gif[/img]



We both get soup. YUM

I get roasted conch


Mokatee gets his famous jerk chicken, which he is cutting up now.


“Biggah, you remember me?”
He stares at my face, but can’t remember.
“The last time I was here, I tilted my plate forward and the hot juice ran down my leg and burnt the out of me.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah…me run go get de aloe fe rub on ie.”

I go to town on my soup cuz I’m saving the conch for later. I hear this chatting going on and a giggle every now and them. Biggah and Mokatee are having a grand conversation while he chops and chops.



Of course, I tease her to this day about that afternoon. It was obvious he took a liking to our Mokatee. Telling her how much he LOVES to cook and listing his culinary talents.
