Mango Mango Mango
Fresh fruit and vegetable stands are all over St. Lucia, selling everything from the strange bread fruit & Dasheen to tomatoes. With all the variety we have become especially fond of mango's! When we first arrived here, we thought that because of the climate, mango's would be in season all year long and we were in heaven! But then came December and every where we went to buy mango's the little ladies would say, "It Finish", which means there are no more mango's! Well that lasted for a couple of months and now there are mango's everywhere again, only these mango's are a different kind and not nearly as delicious as those we enjoyed last May. We are anxiously awaiting the new crop of Mango Poi's, the best and are very much looking forward to May!

Magilda-my favorite fruit and veggie Lady!
Each time we buy mangos and other things from Magilda, she always throws in a couple of extras "For My Friend" she says! She has been working at that roadside stand for 16 years!

I think you should do the Tango, Tango, Tango while you wait for the Mango, Mango, Mangos. Just kidding! Sounds yummy! Is that why you guys look so good? Are you living on healthy friuts and veggies? I wish I could like doing that.
Love you!
I think I would like to eat fresh fruit everyday. That is why you both look so good and healthy. Dad said Tony is coming Saturday to spray for grasshoppers. Hopefully he can get them all. We need corn this year.
I tried a Mango for the first time in my life a couple of weeks ago and loved it. YUMMY. I just posted some pictures on my blog of your cute grandkids. We played with them yesterday, they are so cute!
Okay Aunt Marla, if you are going to be a blogger you have got to update more often. Forget the missionary work and start updating! I check 3-4 times a day and I need new stuff!!!
mangos never taste as good as they do in st. lucia! and never, never let yourself be fooled into think that the ones at costco are as good as the ones in st. lucia!!!!!!
