Simply Portland...Utterly Devine

[*vi*]

I was thinking I wasn’t missing out when I saw the mangos and how green they looked, but Goldilocks the juice dripping from his lips when he bit into it told me I was.

I DO like your suggestion...lol

Sammy - yes it is... I had to steal this picture to make my screen saver... just beautiful

Thanks Sammy and Sparkle.

Go ahead Sparkle and place that photo where you can see it everyday because soon that's where you'll be standing

I break down and buy another over-priced red stripe while I wait for my ride. I try to write a little but the handsome, middle-aged couple in the pool is making too much racket hugging and kissing and showing each other much love. Yuck!!



No, they are really cute and I’m just jealous. They are really enjoying each other as if no one else in the world exists but them and it is truly beautiful. I admit sometimes it's not fun being "Vi -- party of 1" when I make my Jamaica reservations, then there are the other times I wouldn’t trade that label for all the jerk sauce in Jamaica.



Okay, going to stop that thought here and will continue the “I’m in the mood for love” ramblings later in the report when I relate another incident.

In the meantime…the pictures of the bar area remind me of what a beautiful Sunday it was. A vivid, beautiful July day in Port Antonio.

*sigh*

I’m beginning to miss all of her painfully and I still have a number of days and experiences to write about. I can feel completing this report is going to be tough to do without using way too many sappy words but I’ll try not to let things get too mushy. Especially when I relive certain moments sent from Heaven.

I love the marina photos, Vi, and you can get as sappy and mushy as you like We are just feeling human beings, right? Love it!

Vi, your pics. are to die for!! undisturbed tranquility. I have saved your pics. to use as screen savers hope you don't mind. I showed this to a Jamaican friend at Uni she says she has yet to experience this type of Jamaican beauty. I was puzzled until she told me she is from the inner city of Kingston and never ventured far from it.

Yes, and Elvis is greedy, especially because you told him about your love affair with mangoes

too funny about elvis not sharing . . . not sure about that. sharing is such a basic thing, i'd have re-think on him being a nice guy . . . on the other hand, one time i had a lapse in judgment and shared a very short amount of time with a "companion" who proceeded to get a box of food and ate the whole thing without ever offering me a taste!!!! . . . so, maybe that's just a "jamaican" thing . . . to me, it's a "selfish, self-centred thing" . . .

Beautiful photos! Love the yellow flowers. Geesh, too bad about the mangoes, and it was your idea! Lol!

Your photos leap from the screen.....sigh

be as mushy as you like, we're here for you and we do understand...........on one reach I sobbed so badly at the airport, the driver called the next day to make sure I was okay.....Beloved can do that to any of us.

No, JB not a "Jamaican" thing Elvis is just plain selfish!
