In a few moments Granny and Zaelly-Rose were sitting on the back stoop sipping their hot cups of tea and watching the first rays of the sun climb over Nevis Peak. Over steaming bowls of cornmeal porridge topped with grated cinnamon spice and brown sugar the two ladies discussed their plans for the day ahead. Granny reminded Zaelly-Rose of the visiting boat from Dominica, which was scheduled to dock at the Gallows Bay Marina, sometime during the early afternoon. Whenever a boat docked it seemed like Christmas to Zaelly-Rose. The Dominicans with their exotic (Creole)accents and different names for saying things always kept her entertained. She enjoyed trying the new fruits and vegetables and even pastries that flowed in abundance for that whole day. Hurriedly gulping down the last few mouthfuls of her breakfast, Zaelly-Rose quickly returned to her bedroom to get dressed for Town.
