Jamaica and Miss Matejka

Miss Matejka is a lady who lives in a little house. She owns the whole camp, and also is the cook. She is the best cook in the world. Honestly, yesterday's supper, whole grain bread with carrots and round beef on the side and buttermilk with cantaloupe and cookies for dessert! Mmmmmm..... Her cookies were to die for. Chocolate all the way.......Wasabi peas would be the only thing to make her meals better.
I had this conversation with her. I was helping her bake the cookies, and she asked me....
"Where are you from?"
"Oregon."
"Oh! How nice?"
"Very. But there is quite a lot of rain."
"Where did you live before boarding school?"
"Minnesota."
"Isn't it very cold there?"
"Yes! Much colder than Oregon."
"Colder than Oregon?" she asked, doubtfully.
She still seems to doubt that Minnesota is colder than Oregon. I will have to show her a weather report sometime.
Kaya is in Queen of Spains Valley, Jamaica. She says it's very beautiful, but she is so close to home she can smell it.
