BUYING FRENZY

28 April 2010
Faith
Well, April is coming to an end and we must soon leave this wonderful place and all its wonderful people. We are waiting for our North Carolina registration papers and making arrangements to get our mast stepped and arranging to get trucked to the marina that will lift us into the water. We are on a buying frenzy, again, with 20 individual gallon jugs of drinking water, (water is expensive in the Bahamas) cases of tomato juice, orange juice, pineapple juice (for those pina coladas!) 4 cases of fruit juice and four cases of pop. Also, cans of lemonade, cans of iced tea and 25 packages of cool-aid for Eric. He loves cool-aid. I have just canned 12 quarts of butter. Very cheap here. Have ordered 12 dozen eggs from the farmers market to pick up next week. Have finished most of my sewing and Eric is finishing up with lots of misc. things. So hopefully in the next week or two we will take off.
