As the year comes to a close (I only have one more blog post before I head home for the holidays) I thought I would share with you what was hot and what was not in Dominica during 2011 (this is also fulfilling a long time fantasy of mine to write a hot/not list.)
| I In Dat Fancy denim rompers | Doe Call My Name Wearing a wet bathing suit under your clothes |
| Facebook privacy by using names like “Erin ‘Yoboyfrindalwayswatchinaftermyboomboom’ Skis” | Ironic engagement photos where both people look like they may cry |
|
| Not ironing |
| KES the band | The Band |
| Church | Being “spiritual, but not religious” |
| Waking at 5 am to cook and clean | Waiting until after 9 am to call people |
| Step-ups (Ginger Wine and Rum) | Considering beer a booze drink |
| Matching your shoes, earrings, bracelets and eye makeup | |
| DeMarco’s “I love my life” (the song) | Erin playing country music |
| KFC | Girls trying to lift things |
More importantly the Hands Across the Sea shipment came in! It is incredible! We’re creating an art program using the supplies and have started categorizing the books so
they are all ready for the kids to check them out of the library next term. The most exciting part (from my perspective) is that we are doing a class book project- each class will be using the craft supplies to make their own book. I think Grade 5 is doing a “Magic School Bus” book!
Thanks to everyone who donated! You are making a wonderful impact on Salisbury children’s lives!
No dictionary entry this week. Tune back next week for body parts.
Love the photo of the kids with the supplies and the plans for the book. That's wonderful!congratulations!
