Attachment 17450
Holy cow! 6 sleeps here! Funny how it seems so far away and then all of a sudden it sneaks up on you!
hang in there Sweetness!
and we are going to need to hear from you while you're there --- or we'll all be having panic attacks
"Like button" what Seveen said. Positive thoughts Sweetness, this is a new chapter of great things to come for you as two. Bless.....
Soon come Sweetness! When you see that sight you gave us.....a calmness will enter your soul and you will handle it all with the grace that you always have!! Wishing you the very best and please keep us all informed...prayers and blessings sent! :cool:
Thank you my dear friends. I feel your love and support. You know I will take you all alaaang with us.
Yetta so tru about the calmness that comes starting w/that site. Cheers when you land (cheers) plus relief as I hate flying. And giddy by the time you reach baggage claim. Followed by euphoria when you are out the doors. I am so chatty all the way on the road (lol) not sure why (lol). :cool:
Oh my I'm all of a sudden jealous with happiness. I can't wait to experience that again!
I'd love a little info on what you have been going thru & why you can't just be together... if you understand my question :) I don't want to be intrusive... just curious. It's crazy that you can't just love someone & be together. Sometimes I don't understand our world. The best of vibes your way Sweetness.
Have fun. I alway get real "chatty" once I get in Dudley's bus. I just have to know everything that has happened since my last trip. Stay dry; the rainy season soon come mon! Dave & Elaine

they can see coming
dave/elaine - will do - rain no problem for me......its a novelty here is arid crispy Texas (lol).
Chet/Coleen - yes mon - much better closer to the runway......incredible shot - I hope we can get together and you might pass on a few pointers on photography.....I will be at Catcha Falling Gardens first 3 wks then hopefully Banana Shout. Stop by anytime - I will have a JA phone number and pass it on to you guys. Would love to have you over for a modest dinner and cold drinks some evening!!!! Think about it OK?
Catcha Falling Star Gardens!? Say hello to Veronica, Wayne and the dogs dem. Bel and Pumpkin. We are spending a week there in January.
Yes John - my first stay there. I have heard the amazing story of Pumpkin's disappearance and then miraculous return. Veronica takes care of the rooms right? and Wayne the yaad and anyting else I might need right? I will tell them hello and you SOON COME.
Hey Chet,
If you cannot make it to dinner with Sweetness, please let me know. I have been looking for a good excuse to get back there, and a dinner with Sweetness just might do it. I'm supposed to be camping in a couple of weeks, hmmmmmmm
Sweetness, I'm super stoked for you and look forward to seeing the smile that you will carry on your sweet face. Have fun girl and make sure you check in, from the other Catcha would even Sweeten the deal.....
Booger you made me bust out a laugh.....too funny.....JAsagna perhaps? I do love to cook and even sweeter when in Jamaica. So many great things to chop and season (lol) up. I love you Sandy and Brodie so much and I will definately try to webchat with you guys from Ivan's. I am takin ya'll with me in my heart. (smooches and hugs)
"like" :)
yes Eden. JAsagna made with bechamel, mozzarela, steam veg and Calaloo (and a bit of scotch bonnet of course). It was a BIG HIT. Only got one piece myself LOL. It disappeared.
yum that looks awesome. Wish I was there to make it disappear. Did you make that there, or in TX. And if in TX, how did you find callaloo? I want a piece now. Story of my life.
Made it in Negril when I stayed out at Westender - it was so fun to have an oven - usually not an option.
Oh Sweetness - that looks absolutely delicious! Sending positive, happy vibes for you this reach - love and lightness to you and your honey! And also - just FYI, it was your Westender report (and the visit on the Pub Crawl in April) that prompted us to book the Westender for our 10th anniversary trip this December. You do so many good things for so many people, it's definitely your turn to have it paid back!!!
iowagirl - your sweet words have my eyes misty. thank you for the love. I know you will enjoy Westender - the staff is the best I have ever seen and the peace and beauty so so nice. Bless you and yours!
Enjoy the Gardens, Miss Sweetness!! I love it there... Hope to see ya on the beach at the end of October...
thanks Miss Pretty. Not sure if I will still be around but never know how long things will take. Soon come right?
2 more sleeps... ARE YOU KIDDIN ME??? :cool:
Woo Hoo!!!
Blessed!
have a great trip, soon come
That Jasanga looks good ....might try that!
Cool runnings, Sweetness! Hope to see you on one of our reaches - end Jan. or Jun/Jul! So enjoyed our time together at Red Dragon! Want to do it again! Let me know how Banana Shout is! How long you going for?
Kaycee and Babalew - the JAsagna was really delicious and just made it up. It was very rich but I kept saying all the steam veg in it balanced things out. LOL
Robin = see you pon di rock Blues Oooman!!!!
JamaicaRob - Thanks
M&G - hope all is well with you guys. So cool that even one day together and its seems like yesterday. I will likely stay a month (give or take depending on business). I have stayed at Banana Shout before and LOVED IT. It is a very special place. I HIGHLY recommend it. You can see some amazing photos and my trip reports from back in April but just because I miss is so much and hope to stay there again at the end of my reach ---- here are a few to share for now. Milo and Marianne are the most gracious host/hostess. Very private peaceful by the sea!!!!

5 fi me - and feel free to use that title - you earned it! Bless up every time.....see ya round.
Sweetness - just got back in after a long weekend of travel and saw your post. I am not much of a appointment maker in Ja, to have to be somewhere at a certain time is the antithesis of why we go, but having followed you adventures over the years would love to visit with you. That said I am a driver and I love a slow windows down crawl from beach to Out of Town pastry, do it a couple times a day at least, now that I know your yard I'll keep an eye out. I have to get a new simm and phone so I don't know my # yet, PM me yours and we'll give a call. Catcha is our last night dinner stop, bottle of wine and memories of the trip shared with some of the best food in Negril,,,, it's our little splurge to fight last night in depression.
As to photo tips, I have none, I bought a D40 when they first came out and it does all of the work, my best estimate is that I use the camera maybe at the most for an hour when we are in Ja, just one more thing to think about when I am there to think about nothing. You have to admit the subject matter in Ja far exceeds this photographers skill level,,,,, let it happen, point, shoot, be thrilled when we come home, 4 sleeps?
Chet/Coleen - no worries, I am the same - no appts, no hurry, even when I want to most time can't make to my own plans (lol). I do go to the beach for the day a few times a week, shope in town every couple days cuz of the small fridges (lol) but usually inna yaad so stop by anytime - the Security guard will know if I am in and if I am I welcome a visit any time. We will exchange numbas but feel free to just stop if you feel like it. Catcha is so wonderful and the best way to cap off a great reach so great plan there.....I am at Catcha GARDENS out by Villa Sur Mer but I will be stoppin in at Ivans/Catcha seaside a few times too. Love it there. Hmmm mi thinks you are too modest about the photography but agree the subject matter makes it easy to capture beauty. See you soon. Bless up every time!
OMG that boardie name is hilarious.Tanfastic.....I am at Catcha Gardens which is further down West End from Catcha Falling Star but I will be around town and hope to meet you. You will love Catcha - it is a beautiful property - very special. the food there is AMAZING!!!! enJOY yourselves and be safe!!!!! ONE LOVE
The recipe is very easy......boil the lasagna noogles and let them dry a bit. Make the bechumel (melt 5 tbsp butter, add 4 tbsp flour to make a paste and let it cook a minute or two until sandy colored, then add 4 cups of milk). Sautee some veg - I used calaloo, carrot, sweet peppa, onion, garlic (lots) and cabbage. Then just layer noogles, veg, sauce and mozzarella cheese and then top with more cheese. Seven million calories but very delicious (lol).
Will do Rastagirl......I know he will become my new friend quickly and I have heard he is very helpful. I look fwd to meeting him.
Enjoy Sweetness!! Just like Rastagirl....please give a big hug up to Jane, Joan, Veronica, Loretta, Wayne and Marshall! Such great folks indeed! Also, take special care of our favorite resort dogs...Pumpkin and Belle. OMG, you are going to love these two. You will have to use my real name..for that is how they know me. Tell them soon come in December and can't wait to see them all. Much love and good wishes Sweetness!!
May Jah guide and give you all the happiness that you deserve. Walk good! :)
