Island Time Yet?

I've got zero, nada, zippo going on today.   Hubby had to visit work very early today, so I hope the news he brings home is better than before.

If the weather warms up a bit, we might get cracking on wood splitting.  Our supply for this coming winter will need to be doubled of what we put up last year.  And there are plenty of other jobs needing done. 


Last night he worked up a drawing of our root cellar.  He's not abandoned this project yet.  It's too early to dig anyway, and we still need to check on permits etc.  At least he's moving along with it.
 
I've been pestering Hubby for a trip to the island soon, but so far, we've not been able to make plans.

I'd much rather go there than Amish country this year.  Amish country is not what it used to be.  It's overly commercialized anymore, and the one place we bought our cheese, no longer slices it for you.  What's up with that?  They sell big wheels, but took away the slicing?  Hm.  Then the cheese curds we bought last, were actually made in NY, not locally.

There is one store that sews lunch bags, totes, and purses, but almost everything else is imported.  Even the flea markets are mostly imported, wholesalers, t-shirts, jewelry etc.  You can't find a real flea market unless you go during the week.  

Many of the antique stores are over-priced, and locally made wine prices are going up and up.  The last loaf of "homemade" bread we bought was made with soybean oil.  That did me in, right there.

So, we'll see if Hubby gets me to the island this year.  I'd much rather sit by the water-side, and relax.  I know our marriage getaways are important to a healthy relationship, but we have graduations coming up too.  Hopefully, we can squeeze in one island getaway.
