Everything is going perfectly. Flight was ½ hour early and I got to Negril before noon. Road with Cliveâ€s with a Juta driver…LOL…so it go. Dropped my stuff at Ossieâ€s/Lenaâ€s and searched for Sharon..not here yet…so I took a friend from yard up to check this little private apartment a next friend told me about. It sounded all good but I wanted to see it first to make I felt comfortable with the road, yard and digs. ITâ€S PERFECT.
M, a driver and myself checked out some other places on the beach to see if cash in hand would work. Nope…so I decide on the apartment. We stop by Hilo and M runs my cart and suggests things that I may need… kinda like a live shopping list.. “bread, milk eggs, riceâ€
Off to my new home. Landlord is smiling as he didnâ€t think I was going to come back. He was suspicious as when I left the first time I asked for his number. We are good. I meet the kids in the yard and visit with my landlord and his longtime friend. He asks if I have something for dinner yet..No.. He said ok I will cook you dinner, what do you eat? I say everything!
Sharon comes and we/she decides that I am staying with her at her house in Little London. She vex cuz that was the “plan†to stay my first night and then search and find a place ..but true she wasnâ€t there when I came in and I wanted to get planted asap. Itâ€s reasonable enough here that I didnâ€t feel bad about going there.
We were going to eat with LL and when he comes with her plate..it is Curried Conch and Lobster over white rice…Sharon not eat conch..I cleaned my plate.
SO on the way to Little London we stopped close to town at Corner for some fish. Her SIL and 2 twin grand kids got out and watched the sea from the rocks..beautiful.
Had a great quiet night in Little London…lots of kids that she talks about all summer and people that she chats me about to. It was one young gals birthday and she was still flying high. Bday cake and then I had my second supper of steamed fish and okra. Went to bed early after watching the moon come over the mountain but sleep didnâ€t come. I didnâ€t have a notepad or my computer and my mind was full of stuff I wanted to right about or make note of.
Up early and soon the twins were back getting ready for school. What fun.. I got to lotion them up and find them socks. They then did a little dance for me called “the jerkâ€.. I have video of it but soon come on the download. Hot tea and breakfast in their skivies and then in to the uniforms. Crisp and nice with a 25lb backpack full of school books on their backs. My hostess†youngest brother and GF came to carry us back to Negril.. Sharon cooked us all breakfast…sardine, tin mackerel with fried dumplings. I noticed I got the lions share..Watched boys mom doing some laundry out back. They say your clothes donâ€t get clean in a washer. Soon with everyones help cleaning up we were off to Negril.
Stopped way up past red dragon at my hostess†piece of land….just land now but the view is going to be spectacular.
We stopped in town and picked up some produce…including ackee. We chilled here for a bit and they were off the beach and I was here to settle in some more.
Took a strool to Canoe and had a BM and cubra libra with Georgia…
Just really happy to be here.. Found myself a couple of times already with just tears of joy in my eyes.
