I hope everyone has stocked up on food such as rice and pinto beans. (makes a complete protein) I believe in preparing for hard times. My Japanese student is a very small eater, and I find throwing out much food, about which I feel terrible. I bought her the smallest hamburger today, while we were at Londsdale Quale Market on the north shore. It is a wet day, and visibility was poor, however, it was nice to experience the Sea Bus, and the skytrain together. We saw a Japanese group who was singing by the entrance to the quay, complete with a pianist. We saw farmers showing off their produce from fresh garlic and vegetables to breads, and scents. A souveneir show was attractive to my student and she bought a few items to take back with her. Her departure is next Thursday, but another group is to depart Tokyo on Monday, when Typhoon Lan is pounding the country.
My student is resting now, and I have since brought home a used dishwasher from a retired gentleman, with the help of my son-in-law and daughter. They have so many things to yet acquire to make their home comfortable. I laugh, as they now try to save their money more than ever, as they have been hammered with transfer fees and taxes. I laugh because they have become like me (us) in a way; no longer going to department stores for purchases, but finding even free items on line that may work out in their new home.
A retired doctor told me that if him and his wife were looking to buy a home now, they would not be able to purchase one today, despite their good income. I am so glad that we have a beautiful home in Heaven. It is incomprehensible how beautiful it will be, beyond our wildest dreams and expectations.
The Great Canadian outdoor stores are still Liquidating their products across our land. Fishing, hunting, camping, arching, hiking, and warm clothing items are all available at discounted prices. Remember that things will be changing very soon. Banks may clothes, stores may close. BEWARE>
