Aunt Cherry invited us to lunch at her house today. She lives at the end of a long street with no cross street. Her house is really elegantly decorated. At the back it has a covered room with grilled walls. The room is beautiful, with sofas and a small table, flowers and trees outside, and a nice cool breeze. We had stew peas and Aunt Esther's chicken. Everything was great.
It turns out that Aunt Cherry's real name is Ida May. We never knew that. When she was born the helper told her Mom that the baby was "red as a cherry". The name stuck. Cherry is a truly international person. She has lived a variety of places. For a long time she lived in Switzerland, married to a Swiss citizen. Her relatives are in the US, the UK, Switzerland, Jamaica, and the Caymans.
Cherry's daughter Rosie, a doctor, came by for a while with her two beautiful boys. They are 3 and 5, and very shy. Today they had red tongues from Valentines Day candies. Rosie was PoPo's doctor during the problems she had earlier this spring.
Later on, we took a tour of the back yard. It is really secluded and beautiful. There are lots of plants, flowers, trees, and bushes all around. Everything from orchids to bananas. The yard is a few steps down from the back of the house. There is plenty of room for kids to play and adults to relax.
