Actions Can Speak Louder Than Words & Our Grandson Turns 2!

We're retired in rural Jamaica, and today we begin by enjoying our grandson Mahrez's 2nd birthday party! The next day, it's back to business as usual as the boys are back to school, the chickens are back to laying, and Andre is back to help in the garden. A little less chatter this time around and some more cool breeze and melodies. Let me know if you find this particular style of content more enjoyable than usual, and thanks for joining our adventure. Richness is Life.

    I want to give thanks too: I would like to give thanks for Tyler and Sonia. Giving thanks for their big heart that rescued these 3 boys who they are grooming to be responsible citizens of the world.

    The energy is def different in this video without the commentary. I much prefer to hear you speak about what you're doing and what kind of day it is for the family as well as anything else on your mind. These videos always brings a smile to my face but today seemed a bit sombre and that's ok too. Have an amazing rest of the week with your family, and looking forward to the next one!

    The silence is golden. I had to check a couple of times to see if I had mistakenly tap on another video. I saw every word through the silence, and the background is gorgeous. Andre is the best helper and a quick learner. Please, folks, draw a line for teeth brushing. If not, pretty soon it will reach your kitchen. Belated Happy Birthday, little one! The chicks all greeted you with " good morning " Enjoyed the video.

It brings a certain rhythm to the stories, action etc. The music in some scenes was soothing and applicable. Nevertheless, please, bring back the play by play comments. Blessings/ thank you.
