Thank you Jim. ?

Thank you for coming. Thank you for staying. Thank you for attempting to do anything asked of you – even filling in for professor Joan. Thank you for being willing to stay here on site without any other ‘blan yo’ to help you get through each day – dealing with employees and children without enough Creole to do it easily. You, however, did it and things were handled for which we are extremely grateful. Thank you.

The children love having you here and they, like Luckner and I, were delighted to have you stay at the admin building by yourself and take care of things for us. Ti Luc really loved having you here. He said it was so good for him.

HATS is ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN so again we say thank you.

~Karen and Gang

Thanks Jim, some of that would have stretched you a bit! But, I know you would have done it all with love and a smile ( or was that a grimace?) ha
Not sure what you are doing in the photo on your morning walk.
We missed you when we were there.

I can’t figure it out either, I think maybe she didn’t have a lot to choose from.

I can think of a lot of captions, but I am not going to share. Perhaps we should hold a contest.
