We grab the leftovers and head out for coffee. Sweetie Pie is running low on biscuits and is glad to have a little extra to pass out. Scar comes up with another dog this morning that we’ve seen nearly every day. They circle Sweetie Pie with joy.
I love this picture, Red Dog is licking her lips and staring right at Sweetie Pies biscuit pocket. Of course, I do the same thing all the time…
Sweetie Pie has saved the leftovers for Scar. She drops a biscuit for Red Dog and we walk along. Scar follows but Red Dog grabs the biscuit and moves off. When it’s just us and Scar he gets the treats and we walk away. He scarfs it all down and is back on our heels before we get to Easy Rock. He waits in silent vigil across the street again.
We are easily into our coffee ritual now, the flow of the morning is slow and comfortable. We have a cup on the verandah. It’s Caribbean Shabby and we love it.
We wander the property with the second cup. I ask the German Bar guy, who is setting up, if it’s too early for a bratwurst with kraut and he nods. Dang! I’ve heard really good things about them this week from several people. Before we leave Sweetie Pie gives her last biscuit to Jamaica. "First and Last," she says and gives him a big hug.
We stop and grab a pineapple from Pamela on the way back home. We stop and ask the kitchen for a knife and Roy cuts the pineapple up for us in next to no time. We feast on pineapple and dry coconut for breakfast. I am certain of this, I will have MANY more breakfasts of pineapple and dry coconut!
We get prepped for the road trip. A bag is loaded with swim suits, a face mask, fruit and accessories. Chris shows up early and Sweetie Pie notices him down by the gate. We call out. “Yah, mon, whenever you’re ready!” We are.
