Je t’aime, Paris! Ever since I can remember there have been images in my mind of what I thought Paris, France would be like. I never thought I’d ever had the opportunity to visit, but God most like me a lot, I’ve been able to go to Paris twice and another time to a different region of France. How crazy is …
Going to the Mountains
Oh how I love the mountains! My ideal winter vacation is to disappear to a secluded cabin somewhere on the Georgia or Tennessee Mountains (or any other mountain with a glorious view of green everywhere!). I love the idea of wrapping myself under a thick fuzzy blanket, drinking hot tea (or coffee) with my feet spread on the coffee table, while staring …
Trinidad
Here’s my official shout-outs to all my Trini friends back in the island and those spread around the hemisphere!

4th of July Picnic
When we have family gatherings or when friends come over for a get-together type of event, if it is a pot luck style, I sometimes cook the meal, and then I ask other people to bring dessert.
