For the past couple of years Susan has been working for "Dollar Stupid" as a store manager. this gave her something to do beside sit around the house or take care of the Moms. Good for her, and the added money is always nice. Anyway, you read about my forwarding her resume to a job offer on St. Croix and it coming to fruition. We still no believe that, but nobody else can either. The kids said "WTF" yea, sure, for real, when? We just laugh, this just gave us the out to do it NOW. Ha! Ha! When she called her Dist. Mgr. to tell him, he was in disbelief; St. Croix? Office Max, when, how'd you find it. I don't blame you and am envious. Other manager are in shock of such good fortune. again, we just laugh. Nobody really thought that our return to the islands was imminent. Ha Ha!! Our neighbours are still in shock. "So when can we come down?"
Then the story of what I did. Most think she should kill me, but again we just laugh.
Most things are already packed into totes so I can convert them into grow boxes once they are empty. I saw a great you-tube on make your own earth box, so here we go. Will post on that venture too. Water conservation is #1 on islands but fresh veggies is #2. I have been using "A Garden Patch" grow boxs here and am sold on this form of gardening. Ready water availability no over/under watering, very little evaporation easy water installation all good. Just brace tall growing plants for the winds. Not tropical force winds in those occasions the garden is your last thought. But harvest before anyway.
Gotta go and prompt Mom to her packing, yes she is coming with us. That's a whole 'nother story. Making Mango salsa now with some really ripe juicy ones don't want them to rot (any more than the are). Cheers
