It finally happened! I got a walk-in hair appt. and Jim was too sick to take me. I got the keys and was on my way.
Thank you, God:
10:00 so after rushhour on our road-I didn't meet anyone coming or going on the little, tiny, narrow, holey,curvey, mango strewn road from our house.
Only 1 car behind me honking to go faster!
People standing on the road to cut vines down were taking a snack break so I didn't have to swerve over in on-coming traffic!
I didn't make eye contact with a single man-ask Sheila!
Next time I plan on the following:
Not hitting the windshield wipers everytime I want to signal turns(wrong side)
Tooting horn lots more-every curve, pass, hello!, get out of my way!
No leaving fingerprints in the steering wheel from grip!
People of Grenada!! Watch out! I'm free! (Jim just rolled his eyes!)

Herding Geckos
Most of you know how I love most reptiles-especially geckos! Thank goodness because we have them all over the place! I talk to them and encourage them to eat more mosquitoes which we also have in abundance! A gecko got in our door the other day so I just left it in hopes that we'd have fewer bugs. Yesterday while I was talking to Stacey, here comes Jim, herding the gecko with his feet and a broom, trying to get it out the back door. (He's afraid it's thirsty-told him they get juice from bugs) (It may turn into a vampire gecko-eating blood thirsty mosquitoes that are living off us juicy people!) (Hmmm-that may be a children's story!!) Anyway, the gecko swerved off at the last minute-as geckos are prone to do, I guess--like cat herding, I'm sure! I know--it will be my pet gecko, I'll name it and it will fit my criteria for a perfect pet!!love yall!

Getting Everyone Off to the USA
7-18-09
Met the Hoover's at the airport at 6:30 and got the last of the goodies from them-2 washcloths and 2 hand towels! Yipee! Small joys!! We visited Steve with 2 diet cokes and a puzzle book--he looks a little better each day and is really looking forward to going home. I'm taking my plant nippers when we visit tonight--there are some great plants at the hospital. I'm going to go to a bookstore I discovered and look for plant/flower/fauna book. I've only met 1 person so far who knows the names of plants, and he's older than I am, so he's waiting for the name to come to him--I feel his pain! I'm getting some soil today so I can start rooting my cuttings.
I'm trying to figure out how to post new pictures--not much luck!

Learning to Drive
7-10-09
We've got a lot of stuff done this week--God is teaching us a lot about patience--and yall know I never pray for that! We did get our Grenadian phone, cellphone, cable, car, and internet connected this week-last night I was able to email from my kitchen table and talk to Stacey and Reagan. What a blessing!
Jim made me drive yesterday. Let me tell you, it was hair-raising!! I don't think I'll be able to talk or listen to music or anything but concentrate on the center line of road (of course, I have to see it in my mind, because there is no center line!) Turns either way are a bummer, because you have to look the opposite way before ootching out to see what's coming! I think I should probably put a sign on the top of the car--AMERICAN LEARNER--so people will be kind. Kinda like Student Driver!Love yall!!
