Or will we have to give some away?
You seasoned “snowbirds” will know what I’m talking about.
Stuff,,,, flour, peanut-butter, sugar, and anything that won’t keep for six months.
I was just making my regular “energy sandwich” for lunch, peanut-butter and honey, and thought, “this is something that most people only do once or twice in a lifetime, and we do it twice a year”. I’m not complaining, mind you, because it’s just another price we pay to get away from the chitty cold weather.
In the last month or so, we are here, we try to buy stuff in smaller quantities, so we don’t have too much to unload. This isn’t a problem with perishables, as we have the fresh produce and grocery store across the street.
Lynda, my daughter, stopped by this morning to drop off some stuff, as they left for the north. She and Roger are driving back and we wished them a good, safe trip with hugs and kisses.
When we leave, we give our stuff to any NOB friends who are still staying, (not many), but most goes to our Mexican neighbours.
We hosted another Saturday night poker party last night, not as much food this time, I think people are watching their weight so they can still fit in an aircraft seat. LOL.
Ann & Liz made a tortilla chocolate cake, very different and definitely Mexican, but yummy. Betty broke even in the poker, as second place, and I didn’t.
As we approach the end of March, more and more people are leaving, and our social calendar will be getting thinner,,, but his week we are booked almost every evening, tonight it’s smoked lamb at Debby and Jerry’s. I’ll give a review later.
