HAPPY BARON BLISS DAY TO ALL BELIZEANS AT HOME AND ABROAD

As I sit in front of the computer this morning, it is raining outside. I am not in Belize. Nor am I in Mexico. I have now adopted a third country and while my stay is only for a while, I am savoring the time I am allowed to spend with my daughter and granddaughter in the USA.

However, this post is not about me. It is just to wish all those who today celebrate in the name of Belize's greatest benefactor's name a HAPPY BARON BLISS DAY.

We wish to thank God that this man of Portuguese decent, came into our Belizean waters and without even setting foot on Belizean soil saw a place he could love. And love he did. For at his death, the country of Belize became sole heir to millions of dollars of which only the interest could be used as seen fit but the government.

Hence we have hospitals, parks and community centers in the name of Baron Bliss.

God bless his soul and keep Belize safe!

HIP HIP HOORAY! ITS BARON BLISS DAY!!! (IT WAS PROBABLY CELEBRATED ON SUNDAY PASSED OR WILL BE ON THIS WEEKEND. EITHE WAY, I HOPE THE HARBOUR REGATTA WAS A GOOD OR IS AS GOOD AS IT USE TO BE IN THE DAYS OF MY GRANDMA ADA).
