We aren’t scheduled to officially start working in the stores until next week, but this week we are helping get the stores ready. There are walls to paint, carpets to vacuum, shelves to clean, and stock to unpack and price. Tomorrow the first cruise ship of the season arrives into Skagway. Since Randy and I aren’t on the schedule yet, we will be working behind the scenes. Can’t wait!
After work today we went grocery shopping. Tuesday is when the fresh produce comes in, so we have been advised to shop Tuesday or Wednesday, before it’s all gone. Some of the prices are pretty steep – for example, 2% milk is $5.19, and ice cream is $6.85. Leeks are $3.60 each. And we had to pay $3.84 for gas for the Jeep. Fortunately we brought a lot of supplies, but we still have to buy perishables and gas.
I am going to fill the car with gas today it is $2.75 in Texas.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great lunch and visit with Harry & Judi on Tue, they asked us to pass on their best.
Our visit to the LBJ ranch was very interesting, they had galleries of pictures of all the dignitaries visiting the ranch in the 60's. Brought back all those old memories of watching Walter Cronkite on the CBS news.
ENJOY ALASKA!
