The Land of Green Gables (and a 70 mile Garage Sale!)

WOW! Even though the rain has dampened the day, this place is certainly worth the trip. We've enjoyed eating apples, PEI jellies and jams and some great food. Our daughter Karen told us to take along another suitcase for collectables. We collected lots of rocks from NB and now we're in the hunt for garage sale stuff. Did I mention apples! I've never seen and tasted so many great varieties of apples. Many of these varieties don't make it to the Texas market because of shipping characteristics of some apples.

Our final day on PEI was treasure hunt. We had such fun and met some wonderful people from a variety of people. We'll head for NB and Quebec tomorrow. We'll share some beautiful pics of PEI flowers and other organic stuff.

Comments We Made in 1955

I found this in a SAS Shoe Newsletter:

• If prices keep going up, we'll no longer be able to buy a week's groceries for $20.00.
• Gasoline now costs 29 cents a gallon.  I may be better off leaving the car in the garage.  Besides it won't be long before $2,000 will only buy a used one.
• And I am afraid the Volkswagen is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.
• The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I doubt seriously that they will ever catch on.
• Have you heard?  They are making electric typewriters now.
• If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store and the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter.
• Some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball.  It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President.
• I wonder if I'll see the day when Government takes half of our income in taxes.  Makes me wonder if we are electing the best people to Congress.
