Today I am a little bummed, it's been a year since my mom passed away. I am going to my sister's house after work to cry, talk about mom, and light some candles.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Just thought I would pop in and say hello.

All is well, I have a friend who has three vehicles and she has let me and Marlon borrow her truck until we get a car so I am truly blessed!

Today I am a little bummed, it's been a year since my mom passed away. I am going to my sister's house after work to cry, talk about mom, and light some candles.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Oh Sarah, so sorry to hear. I pray God's comforting arms will engulf you in your time of grief (F)

**********TUESDAY CHUCKLE**********

Good Morning Everyone!!

Get your giggle on & have a GREAT day!

Blessed (L),

Gill

P.S.- This is an oldie, but goodie ;) ENJOY!

*****************************************************************************

You know you are on a flight to Jamaica When ...

- You get to the airport before the Air Jamaica counter staff

- Everybody is checking in suitcases the size of a refrigerator

- The person beside you taps you on your shoulder and says "Yuh only have one piece? Beg yu check een dis ya piece ah luggage fah mi nuh. DO!"

- Everybody makes a bolt for the gate when the announcer on the p.a. system starts to say "this is NOT a boarding announcement."

- You can't get on board because somebody in front of you is trying to get a motor vehicle engine block into the overhead compartment

- At least one passenger is accompanied by an armed Federal Agent

- You can only get the Observer to read, no Gleaner roun' here

- People are trying to figure out what "Port of Embarkation" means

- The passenger next to you slowly leans away from you while raising one leg and mutters "Yes bwoy, DAT is gas!"

- Somebody hands a flight attendant a paper bag and asks her to "heat up dis ya patty fi mi nuh baby"

- The plane starts to descend, and a woman in the seat behind you says to her friend ... "Come Darris, time fi go tile-it an' tidy!"

- The overhead compartment smells like fish, jerk chicken and rum ... then something from up there starts to drip on you.

- Most of the passengers clap when the plane lands

- While the plane is still moving and taxi-ing to the terminal, people are unbuckling their seat belts, grabbing their hand luggage and heading towards the plane door

- Everybody who have a big screen TV, a boom-box and a microwave go straight to the "Nothing to Declare" line in Customs

Good Morning All,

David arrived in Atlanta, GA on time Friday evening :dance::dance: . He stated the POE was a breeze. Everyone was very nice and welcomed him to the USA. We had very quiet and peaceful weekend. I am working from home this week just to help out in his transition to living here. He really wants his SSC to get here so he can start applying for jobs but otherwise he seem to be okay and not missing Jamaica too much. It really helps that he has several really good friends in the Atlanta area. A couple of them lives in our same area. Now that my baby is here I know I will not have time to visit the site as much but if any one feels I can assist in any way;please PM or email me. Again thanks for all the support and info. Also wishing all pending cases a speedy process.

Jenice

Congrats :thumbs::yes:
