How wonderful to find that we were so intent on bringing a proper sprinkler back from the states for our gardener, that we could walk across the street and see what his wife fashioned from a $1bottle of water. It has as much power as the sprinkler and is so much more of a conversation piece. Personally I am going to use all water bottles this way in the future.
But on to other adventures. John was a community choir pretender on Saturday and accompanied me (actually drove half of us) to the Sugar Plantation (TPC) to the home of Catherine and John Paul. It was of course fantastic. Catherine and John Paul were perfect hosts, and we were really treated to a wonderful evening. Ben and John and here talking undoubtedly about Ben's impending departure from KCMC and our feelings of woe and tragedy about that. As well, they just like one another, and that sets the tone for an evening. It seemed that everyone just plain liked one another.
John Paul and Catherine had a fantastic bar built out of a fishing boat. A whole fishing boat that they bought right from a fisherman. It was beautiful. One piece of wood honed with loving hands. I am sure it was sea worthy, but also drink worthy and one of those pieces that you can lean on.
part of the choir listening to stories of..... "choir" or "Clive"
A great story of Clive (above)
We all brought a little meat and grilled it. Catherine and John Paul made side dishes and this was a feast!
We have a nice little choir!
Here is the thatched roof of their gazebo. All the thatch was gathered and woven by their housekeeper. John Paul had brought the thatch (some kind of special grass) in to plant over TPC as a ground holder. It was amazingly tight. A GREAT NIGHT
