Family Trip to Jamaica

 


 

February Journaling

1.     First day of our trip to Jamaica. It’s our grandson’s 10th birthday.

2.     Beach day at the resort. The Riu is very nice and the buffet selection is incredible.

3.     Our family took a bus to Dunn’s River Falls. Most of the family climbed it, I only did the stairs and it was too much. I took pictures of them.

4.     Celebrating my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. I brought a copy of the book I published, The Legacy Project as a gift.

5.     The family went to Kingston to the Bob Marley museum. It was his birthday so there were a lot of people there. I stayed behind with my grandson because we’re both unwell.

6.     Seven of fourteen of us have caught some virus, with a cough, body aches and headache. The kids also have a fever. Our middle grandchild was well all week, she was sick before we arrived.

7.     Another beautiful day, on the beach. Drinking coconut water from the coconut. No appetite, surrounded by food.

8.     Final day in Jamaica. It’s our granddaughter’s 8th birthday. The youngest is sick now. The hotel arranged a transfer that took three hours instead of an hour and a half, so when we arrived at the airport we scrambled, I am disabled so it was hard to get across the entire airport, and we were the last to board. Never again, we’ll arrange our own transport next time. Returned to winter.

9.     Laundry and unpacking. Watched church on line since we’re still sick.

10. Drove to London to pick up my mom.

11. Dr.’s appointment to fill out forms. Faxed appropriately.

12. Working on the legacy project with my mom.

13. Our daughter is returning to Ottawa, her husband went back to Wisconsin to work as a supply teacher.

14. Valentine’s Day. We’re still sick. Made 9 bandanas and six water bottle holders.

15. The AGAPE Gala was rescheduled to next Saturday because of the coming storm. Made another giant teddy bear.

16. Because of the snow storm, in person services were cancelled, so we watched online. Today would have been my dad’s 86th birthday. Made a big sea turtle.

17. Going to support a table our church has at Winterfest.

18. Housekeeper and a consult appointment with my mom.

19. Prayer meeting.

20. Hebrews course.

21. Went to H-town to watch my youngest granddaughter and pick up the other two from school. Also made dinner and my mom folded their laundry.

22. AGAPE Gala. I made the seating plan. 67 people. Our church is represented by about 20 countries and ten language groups, so it is a microcosm of the world and a foretaste of heaven. So we had people read or recite John 3:16 in their language, then in English, then we said, no matter the language, God’s love is the same.

23. Church in the morning only. Working through the legacy project book with her.

24. Making five yellow chicks. Also red heart keychains and working on a cat stitch scarf in three colours.

25. Pain clinic then going for dinner at a new family at church to go over their testimonies for membership.

26. My giant military word search is ready but I’m having trouble uploading it to kdp on amazon.

27. Reading week so no class tonight. Our amigos are coming over for dinner and cards. Making Caesar salad, salmon, scalloped potatoes with pork chops, and Italian bread. Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and lemon meringue pie. Also a provincial election day; off to vote.

28. Bible study delayed by a day this week. So frustrated with the problem with uploading my wordsearch book.
