:bye: hi Arthur, we looked at one time to see if there was a home to buy at Crescent Beach or there is a big pier there at White Rock, but we stayed on the island. back to cover for the rapture... there are two main ferry options for us to get off this island. one that goes to the mainland by Vancouver has been cancelled for two months, and the other that is about 40 minutes away has had sailings cut and only half the passengers are allowed on now per sailing. every other sailing time is cargo only. it has never been this way. some food is grown on the island, but ferries are needed to bring all kinds of goods to the island. float planes aren't taking off in those waters in the picture. if the Lord takes us home while this is going on, the believers wouldn't be so obviously missed. most of the population would be left behind. Regina, I live in Southern Vermont. Parallel to Saratoga Springs, NY. I used to shop there almost every Sat. Northern Vermont reminds me of Lancaster, PA with the farms and more stores, restaurants and people. hey Geri, is that sugaring country? love pure maple syrup. God would have the pure stuff for breakfast in heaven :prayer-hands: Yep, the maple syrup is mainly processed in the southern region because we have the red maple trees. The northern part of the state has more white birch trees and pine trees so the foliage isn’t as spectacular up there. My family used to buy the syrup directly from our neighbor down the road who has a sugar shack. It’s a lot cheaper than buying at the local grocery stores or tourist shops where they really jack up the prices for the out-of-staters. :negative: I love maple candy. On my waffles I prefer ice cream and I make ice cream sandwiches. That’s a snack we learned from the boardwalks while growing up vacationing at the New Jersey Shore. I do have a small bottle of syrup but I use it for cooking or baking.
