~~ Sweetness Trip Report - Miles of Smiles

Business in town this morning (well mid morning lol)....stop over at LTU to drop the waitress Opal a pair of earrings she love.....I must admit I have hundreds of earrings so its good to recycle some.......she was smiling big when I left and that made me appy.

Steps down to Mr Fixit jewelry table, been meaning to stop ova and glad I did. I picked up a rasta beaded necklace for Wayne for his birthday (caretaker at CFSG) and a JA braclet and pretty shell pendant necklace for myself.

Couple more steps I hear "Hey Sexy" but this time not like all the udder time I ear a voice behind me say it (lol) I recogize the voice of my long long time heart now man child Mathis (you all know im well). We hug up and I tell him come by layta - off he went to dive across from Ricks.

Few more steps I am jus past Ricks and I here my name dis time (lol). Another day in the neighborhood. Its our long time friend Willie who drives a taxi and his wife my long time dear friend from Heartbeat. (shout out Rambo) We hug up too and laugh at life. I tell him we will call and set up a time to all get together - we somehow manage each reach tho everyone is busy.

Mus get to town so grab a taxi and handle my stuff in town. It was so hot and muggy today woooo weee but mi no complain cuz mi eer and appy :-). Stop in to ck BarBBarn and it is OPEN so I hang out for couple hours. The lovely HOPE is there and so many blessings flowing. I buy a cup of juice for fisherman I know long time that runs the boaht there. When he leaves he brings me not one but FOUR perfect likkle conch shells. I almost cry (don't take much tho ha). Sit a bit longa and have some food - small size jerk chicken lunch - was nice and tender and good sauce. Met a local guy name Smiley - used to wk there and lives in Orange Hill. So nice. We enjoyed the vibes and I treat him to a cup of blended fruit and he later gave me a gift small but flavorful.

Stopped off inna yaad where my boys stay and talk with Pamela. She say I knew you were here someone told me (lol). Yes I say mi know how news travel inna Negril. The boys hug me tight and enjoy some bubble gum I had for them. I promise to come back by when I can stay longa.

It was a great day and really I didn't do anything exciting or unusual. I love Jamaica.
