August 24, 2013. Artemas, Pa. Money.

Ken and I are both out of American money.   This evening we decided to get ice cream at the Alley Cat Creamery but as we had no money, we went ice cream less, which was probably a good thing.   Today we discovered our lack of any cash.   We are not sure how this happened.   Just before we left for Nova Scotia in mid June,  we remember withdrawing money from the bank in Everett, but we think we left those funds at the bank in Liverpool.   But neither of us have any American money in our pockets right now.

We don't really need any money.  The freezer still has plenty of our good Angus meat and the Jays have abundant vegetables which they will never allow us to pay.  This afternoon, we went over to get potatoes and it was a good thing Brian refused to take any money, because when Ken looked in his pocket it was empty.  Brian just laughed.   For dinner, we ate more sweet corn and potatoes.  Delicious.

Late in the afternoon, Alan came over to say hello.  He found us watching a video on the lower level so we turned it off and talked with him for an hour.   We explained our situation to him and he understands but he still thinks that Brian really wants to buy our farm.  But it will not go on the market until 2014 so perhaps we will have changed our minds, or Brian has figured out how to buy it.  It is a problem.
