Nuts For Coconuts

( Pirate coconut by Warren Miller)

Two of the most frequently asked questions of Useppans are,

"What do you do on Useppa?"

and "Don't you get bored?"

We are never bored on Useppa.

 Most of us can not even comprehend

that word. There is always something to do

 and always something to be done.

Just ask Ronda the presidant of the

 " Useppa Island Coconut Art Guild".

Ronda put out a call to all, 

"Come join in the fun and help paint coconuts

 for the upcoming P.O.A. party.

So several island ladies gathered together.

We cleaned coconuts,

 then we painted them all white. 

Once all the coconuts were painted white on one side we

had to wait for them dry before we could piant the other side. 

This worked out wonderfully for Judith and I becuase

Ronda had a surprize for us she said,"Time for a break."

Next thing we knew there were pastries,

home made fig and pear perserves,

coffee and tea placed right in front of us.

 Delicious!

We finished painting our coconuts white, 

let them dry and regrouped a little later.

Look, more ladies, more fun!

 We all had a blast painting whimsical 

things on our coconuts.

Ginny Amsler shows us her 

coconut painting.

Thank you Ronda and all the ladies from

"The Useppa Island Coconut Art Guild" for a wonderful

day of coconut painting.
