Jamaican Patois

On Saturday Ruth brought supper over to a rental that Andrew and I are renovating and Ruth decided to leave before I did. So she came down the stairs to say goodbye and said with a twinkle in her eye, "Me a go me yard b'fore night catch me a road!" I had her repeat it three times before I could get the drift of what she said. Translation: "I'm going home before it gets too dark."
On Sept. 2 we were invited to Jenn and John's home to a meal after which we had the traditional ice-cream cake because it was Ruth's birthday. Rob and Sue Wallace as well as Andrew can be seen in the mirror.

Renovations and Chokecherries

Ruth and I and Andrew have been busy doing renovations at a rental. The bathroom mirror is special because I made the frame out of oak and had a hardware store cut the mirror and I put it together myself. It also is on sliders and when it is pushed to the left a medicine cabinet is revealled. The kitchen is almost finished and I just have to cut a hole in the counter and install the sink.
The last picture is of some chokecherries that Ruth picked. She made about 10 litres of chokecherry syrup out of them.
