Country life Nice
Yesterday my husband and I were invited to the country by friends. It was one of ‘the guys’ birthday, not that we need an excuse to get together and enjoy good food and fellowship. So after doing our regular Saturday chores we headed out about midday.
Our destination was Ensfield, St. Mary. We drove via Stony Hill, pass New Castle and through Junction. The view on route was simple breathtaking. It was as if the rains had washed the earth clean and bright.
Follow up:
By the time we got there the cow cod soup was ready. There was also corn pork, jerk pork and jerk chicken. With the meats there was rice, ‘cartwheel’ dumplings, yellow yam and white yam. For drinks there was fresh coconut water as well as the regular fruit juices, sodas and of course you can’t have a day like that without the real ‘sugar cane,’ white rum and other hard liquors.
The men took charge of the cooking while they played dominoes and drank liquor. The ladies lazed about watching the men or the children. The children played in the river which ran parallel to where we were. An added treat for them was the small pig farm on the property which also carrier chickens and some ducks (not to mention a high scent).
Overall it was a very enjoyable and relaxing afternoon being together with friends with whom you can be yourself and truly unwind. It’s at times like those that its hard to understand how people can be so wicked with so much beauty around them.
Nuff Love

Bruk Pocket Jamaican
"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.
Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".
After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".
Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".
Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
