I&#8217;m excited for the new spot downtown, too, and maybe a tiny bit hopeful that the lounge area is at least a little reminiscent of Foundation. I miss that place a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, we cleaned and prepped for Jamaican Independence Day. (After finally getting to spend some time at home this weekend, we&#8217;ve found ourselves with the cleanest house at least in the entire state.) Friday, we had people over for a ton of Jamaican food and beer in the yard. Everything was <em>so good<\/em>. Except for the part where\u00a0mosquitoes\u00a0made me their personal buffet while we sat by the fire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"jamaica\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4096\/4875678144_1c2b7036b3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Saturday, we did two million more things around the house and then went out with Chris and Meg in the evening.
