Postcard Friendship Friday




It's about time*, I got some postcards from Barbados.

Isn't this a cute little house, and I love the Bus Stop. Reminds me of that Malibu Rum Commercial.



And then there is the lovely scenery.


My sisters each sent me a postcard separetly, I'm not sure what the value of money is but 3 stamps, I'm sure that equals at least one bottle of rum. Good thing they aren't big rum drinkers, like I am.






My husband and I spent our Honeymoon in Barbados, beautiful, beautiful flowers and beaches, and the rum mmmmmmmmmmm!!!





Happy PFF.

* When I got these in the mail the other day, I thought "it's about time" and then I thought of that childhood rhyme, "It's about time, it's about space, it's about time I smashed your face." Isn't that awful so violent!

Barbados Beware

Well my sisters are off on their beach vacation. I wanted to send the Barbados Ambassador a heads up. You see the last time the Nowak sisters went on a trip we gave a memorable send off to our tour guide. We were off to Calgary, at a scrapbooking convention. We booked a bus tour to see Banff. It happened to be our tour guides last trip,before retirement, he was very good, he took us all over the place with in depth explanations and information, and then Barb got a headache, as Alice and I got on and off the various stops Barb laid down on the bus. When we got to Banff for the shopping part of our tour, we thought we would get a bite to eat and Barb would feel better, we thought the driver said we should be back to our stop at 5:30 and no Alice remembered that he said 4:30, no we thought who would send you off shopping for 1/2hr. So we did our lunch, and Barb started to feel better so we started to wander around. Well when 5:30 rolled around and we had rushed back to our rendevous point, there was no bus driver, so we started ask around, and we became known as, "Oh you're the three sisters who missed the bus". Apparently the driver had driven around Banff looking for us, he even checked the hospital thinking Barb had gotten sicker. Well, this poor man, retired with a tarnished record, he had never lost or left anyone behind before. We had a great time, we gained an additional 3 hrs. of touring Banff, spent some serious $$$$$$$$$$. And returned to our hotel with some spirits to relax with. Well if we could do that in such a small slice of the world, imagine what the 3 sisters are doing to Barbados, a whole island to have an adventure in.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to my wonderful son,  it's bee 33wonderful years. Hope this year proves to be the best yet.
