Cancer Survivor, writing about Health and Fitness as you age

Well, I know I am one week late with this post, but I was enjoying my Mother's Day and remembering my own mother. Anthurium lilies were her favourite plants, so it was hardly surprising I picked up a plant on my last trip to the grocery store. Mother's day was on my mind. If my mom was alive, I wonder what she would think of her grandsons? I imagine she would not be able to stop hugging and kissing Liam who is at that very sweet age - interactive, but not giving any backchat, loving and still wanting hugs and kisses.

I had hoped to include a picture of a "doubles" up close and personal, but I am still waiting on that one.

If you're interested in some Trini recipes, check out http://www.trinigourmet.com/ . Below is a picture of a walkathon we went on in Penal. Check out the telephone and electrical wires. As I said, this isn't the US. Finally, for all you flower-lovers out there, a picture of the arrangement on the head table for the religious part of my Dad's 80th birthday celebrations. Anthurium lilies - they were totally gorgeous.
