Recycle and grocks today. The moomincabin is not a large space so I am constantly dealing with garbage and reeeecycle and whatever.

Today I had quite a bit of recycle and a ton of grocks to buy so I headed in to town (Sault Ste. Siberia). I had my recycle stuff in re-useable grock bags so I took that stuff first, then bought umpteen bazillion things at Meijer. Yikes. How many people did I ask for help finding something? 1) Garlic cloves. 2) Evaporated milk. 3) That water that my husband always buys but I couldn’t remember the name. Oh yeah, La Croix. I am friendly to all these people and joked around with all of them. And when I found the La Croix (in the next aisle) I yelled over the wall, “La Croix, I found it!”

I was annoyed that I had a grock bag full of empty returnable cans but I could NOT return them. Why? There were three can return musheens and ALL of them were in use by women with carts FULL of cans. I did not have time to wait for them and was pretty annoyed. Much later, after a convo with a beach urchin, I wondered if they were collecting cans to supplement their income. I have known people who, even with well-paying jobs, collect cans. Still, maybe Meijer needs an express return musheen for people with small numbers of cans because now there’s a grocery bag of cans rattling around in the back of Cygnus.

A beach urchin engineered and cooked dinner tonight and just as we were about to eat, our neighbor-cousin The Mean Old Grunchie Old Grinchie appeared by the back deck. He needed some phone help (charging cable) and we helped him with that but we also snagged him for a cocktail and dinner. And then. We snagged the Old Cabin neighbor-cousins for a wee partay on the moomindeck to connect with our mutual cousin (The Grinchie).

Both beach urchins are here tonight 🧡 and their SOs will be here tomorrow. Love our time together admidst our cousins. Miss the two generations that precede us on this beach.
