Day 76 – A Quick Run South of the Border

by The Philosophical Fish

76/365 (March 17, 2010) – I had to make a quick run down to Blaine to pick up a few parcels. Shipping to the border and then making the quick drive across saves an awful lot of money on shipping and handling and customs charges. I can’t remember the last time the border guards sent us inside to pay taxes or duties. If we keep any value under about $100 each they seem to feel it is more hassle than is worth it and just send us on our way. You have to love that.

I love summer fruit too but I have the opposite problem with it, 2 lbs of blueberries last about 5 minutes in my house, same with strawberries. Peaches and nectarines don’t last much longer. The only reason mango’s stay around for a bit is because the kids need an adult to peal them otherwise they would be gone just as quick. I buy fruit in the hopes of getting to turn some into jams, or fruit leather and it never happens because by the time I have a chance there is no fruit left to make anything with.

Yes, but you do have a few more mouths at your house than I do 😉

Only a few more, three of the mouths at your house have very different diets then mine. (Thinking of the two cats and bird) probably no less demanding about their food though
