Question Time

    Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also helps me to get feedback on a number of questions. How do you like to spend Independence Day in your country? First  of all Happy Independence Day to all Americans!  Independence Day is August 6th in my country, Jamaica.  It is a day filled with many events.  I especially like to watch the Grand Gala held in the capital city of Kingston. There are costumed groups, marching bands, float parades, folk groups, effigies of former leaders and cultural icons, choirs, dancers, performances by top singers and groups plus so much more. I also enjoy listening to a lot of reggae music, the national music of my homeland.
   As usual I am participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Freedom.  What does Freedom mean to you?  I regard true freedom to include - freedom of association, religion, movement, the right to vote, race tolerance and to be respected as a human being.

Garden Delight - Creative Monday Blog Hop

  Early last year when my family and I were out on a Sunday evening drive we came across these flowers and decided that we would like to have them in our garden.  We stopped and asked if we could get some plants and the persons whom we knew very well gave us some.

     These plants were huge with many flowers so I thought it would be quite some time before I would see any flowers from the ones we planted. Lo and behold the small plant has already given us some flowers.

Question Time

    Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also helps me to get feedback on a number of questions. Summer is a time for ice cream. If you like ice cream, what is your favourite flavour?   Grapenut is definitely No.1 for me.
    As usual I am participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Vacation. 1. What are your plans for vacation this summer?  I do not have any special vacation plans but I will take a trip to one of Jamaica's tourist resorts, Ocho Rios, from time to time. I went there today but it was not a sporting trip. 2. How often do you take a vacation from your blog?  I have not taken a real vacation from my blog since I started back in March 2011. However Hurricane Sandy sent me on a vacation last year as I had no electricity for some weeks.

         I will always remember how fascinated Janine and I were when we received this unusual candy dish featuring 6 ducks.  Since that day it has taken pride of place in our bookshelf.   We also decided to keep it candy free!:)

Melon Time - Creative Monday Blog Hop

        Summer is truly here and one way to cool down is to have some melon. I especially like melon when it has been in the refrigerator for some hours.  While I am enjoying this fruit I am also getting the health benefits as it contains antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.

         Janine and I have always been fascinated  by the pink feathers of flamingos. We have never seen them in real life but luckily have had these 2 flamingo figurines for many years.
