Age is just a number!

Here are some black bellied sheep that I passed on my way to the gym this morning.  Thought it could give you a little more flavor for this island that I currently live on.

There were actually 3 babies behind this mother

I titled this blog entry "Age is just a number" because my gym instructor said it in class today and it just sounded good to me.  He was actually trying to motivate the older ladies in the class that they could be just as fit as the younger ones and not to give up.  I really liked the expression.  I want to remember that one.  Another one he said a few weeks back was, "You have to keep working, ladies, you do not want any unwanted guests."  Everyone started laughing - unwanted guests meant extra fat in unwanted places.  :-0!

There is an agrafest this weekend being held at the Queen's Park - where the local animals will be on display as well as a lot of good vegetables/fruits from around the island.  I would like to scope out the vegi's and fruits - but, I don't really understand the need to go see more sheep and cows.  Do you?  

One last thing I will mention today is from a conversation at my Tuesday morning ladies bible study.  There were two ladies referring to their childhood days.  One of the ladies grew up in Barbados and the other one grew up in St. Lucia.  They were laughing about the fact that towards the end of the summer, before they could go back to school, they had to take senna in order to clean out their bowels really good.  And the one from Barbados had to also drink some type of chip that was put into water - said it tasted awful - but was to get rid of any worms.  They were laughing about it - but could never really understand why they had to clean out their bowels really good before they could go to school.  Interesting isnt' it?
