Bahamian Storytelling Chant
“Once upon a time was a ‘wery’ nice time; monkey chew tobacco and spit out lime.”
So once upon a time, and a very long time ago, this blogger was born at Nassau, Bahamas on the 23rd day of September in a year not to be disclosed, but consider the blogger an 'archive'. And archives matter!
So... Oopsy! So excited was I at sharing precious archives in this Blog Series "61" [re UWindsor's age] that I went past 61 posts - Yikes!
65 archives have been shared thus far, with November and December still to go! But it's all good. Blog visitor feedback indicates that I should continue - and so I shall.
Anyway, since I celebrated my birthday last Monday, I posted the main blog image above.
Several decades ago, that was this blogger at a birthday dinner at a downtown Windsor restaurant on Ouellette Avenue. Can't remember the name of the restaurant but my bestie [pic below], now Professor Emerita Juliette Storr of Penn State, USA, and UWindsor alumna, treated me. We were residing at Becket House, Canterbury College at the time. Good times! No, great times!
Stay tuned for Blogs Eight and Nine [final] of the “61” series with lovely archives from UWindsor alumna, Andrea Rohlehr.
