#naphopomo Day 27 Almost Time

Making an early start this year, not going to be left behind
with cobwebbing and cleaning and all there is to mind.
A true Grenadian Christmas requires a lot of elbow grease,
beginning now might help us find the path to inner peace!

#naphopomo Day 13 'tis the season

Christmas arrived early this year, lots of sorrel juice in the
making from now until...

'Tis the Season

Christmas,
in Grenada
and the
cleaning of the house
has begun.














Having completed
the upstairs,
last week,
we make a start
on the
downstairs.
T valiantly
offers
to sweep the
ceiling before
suddenly
remembering
that he has to
go to the garden.






This morning
five a.m. finds me
at a loss
and T in town
selling basil.














All will be well
and order restored
and my next post
will feature
the new curtains
that













a
very special person
sent for us
from America,
together
with
our goods.
