🎶”96 degrees in the shade. Real hot”. Had to sing out that one. Lol!! Felt some true island vibes looking at and reading your post.
Home sweet home. I can imagine the feeling. Oh how I miss all those mangoes and just reaching out to pick fruits at arms length.

Still, I'm lucky to have mangoes, bananas, June plums, passion fruit, starfruit, naseberries, and more, and it has always given me much joy to be able to walk right to my backyard to enjoy delicious fruit.

This part echoed in my head. Lol! I probably read it 3 times. The list of fruits. Oh I miss those and wish I had the appreciation I have for them now, back then.
Thanks for sharing. Home is beautiful. Enjoy your time there. “Yeah! Fi Yu island da boom!” Lol!
