I have been blocked from posting but finally figured out how to get back on -- I just wanted to wish everyone an "End" to the happy summer. I do usually go to Jamaica for the Independence Day celebrations but I really can't stand the heat and humidity in August anymore.
My usual garden activities, large garden, tomatoes, cucumbers, white eggplant, squash, and so on didn't happen this year. I have a very long driveway with stone & my snow plow guy plowed all these stones into my garden area.
Late spring I began doing some extensive house reconstruction things, new kitchen, new bathroom, painting in-house areas. Whoa... I am so glad that is all over now. Lots of work getting all areas cleaned up and ready for the contractor to proceed.
My youngest daughter leaves for Venice and Rome a week from today. I am sort of nervous, the long flight, the jet lag, etc. I will be leaving for Jamaica on December 27th, cheapest flight I could find. Albany NY to Charlotte Carolina to Mobay. Since I work at a University the Christmas "winter intersession" as we call it is a perfect time for me to disappear.
Most of you know where I stay up in the far west end, please come and visit me if you are around. Rastagirl, I'm just a couple of doors down, I would like to meet you.
