Wanted: a small dome tent to borrow...

Our 2-person dome tent is on holiday with rellies in the Rockies and we’ve just been informed that houseguests are coming – a particular 5 year old who NEEDS a tent to sleep and play in that can be set up in our sunroom.  Has anyone got one we can borrow for the weekend? 

This Nana would be most grateful.

Organic Garlic for Sale

My son, Noah, grows organic garlic on Galiano. He has two hardnecked varieties for sale: Georgian Fire (spicy) and Korean Purple. The price is $10/lb with about 8-10 heads per pound. The cloves are 175-2.25 inches in diameter. He will deliver them to me by boat before the end of the month. If anyone is interested in making an order, contact me at 250-246-8176.

Thanks. Ann Eriksson
