We celebrated our friend Shereen's 21st Birthday on Sunday at Umbrella's restaurant & at the beach!
Shereen grew up in the same neighborhood of the kids at Limes.  She faced the same obstacles these kids face & she was able to graduate high school & is studying social work at the community college!!  I am so proud of her!!  She will be an excellent social worker!  & it gives me hope for some of our kids at Limes!

It was so beautiful

this creature is dead on the road in front of our house.  Lee said it's a cane toad.  I never, ever want to come across one alive.  It looks like it has claws!   It's body is about 8 inches long.... that's one big toad!
according to Wikipedia they were introduced to the Caribbean to eat pests that destroy the sugar cane, but it didn't go so well b/c cane toads are always hungry and eat everything dead & alive.  & I don't think they have any predators here....

These girls are so sweet.  I pray that they grow up to be nice young women and don't become one of the statistics...

A lot going on in this picture.... mostly showing off my eggs in a bag & delicious cheese roll I bought on campus today.

I made these earrings for a friend using the Eastern Caribbean nickel.
The 1, 2, and 5 cent coins here aren't made out of real metal, I think it's like aluminum, so it was easy to make a whole in them.
I have  2 cent earrings myself, and everyone loved them.... maybe I've started a business

Christmas may be over... but I'm leaving my little Grenada tree up!

it's beachy... and I don't have anywhere to store it.

these Christmas lights too (that only half of the strand is still working)

add some glass bottles, conch shells, sea fans and wha-la

a display of crap above my cabinets.

January 10, 2011 - 10/365

Would you believe I found this awesome metal bowl on the side of the road one day??
And that I almost let my junk hating husband convince me to leave it there??
it's the perfect thing to show off some of my sea treasures.

Dinner time.
Spaghetti (with lots of meat per Lee's request) garlic bread, and strawberry juice.
and my adorable husband who is always willing to smile when I say "crap I haven't taken a picture yet today!!"

Not so controlled fire across the street from our house... the smell of smoke is heavy in the air, but it's too hot to close the windows!
Gotta get the burning done now before the dry season gets too dry & the burning bans are in place...
