Waste not - Want not






I'm sure you have all heard stories about starving missionaries in foreign lands, not having any of the comforts of the good ole USA. How they can not get items they desperately need and have to make do or improvise to accomplish even the some basic tasks. Well, Bev and I do miss many things that we used to take for granted. Not that we can not live without them but once in a while a good dish of ice cream would be nice. We can get ice cream here but the very few times I have had it it was not all that great and at $40 to $60 a gallon we simply choose to pass. As we are doing a great deal of construction here on the village I would especially like to wake up some morning to see a Home Depot or Lowes in town. There are so many things in the construction trade here that is so different and foreign to me, not that it is all bad but much of it is very different and takes some getting used to. But getting back to making do and not being able to get basic items here. I want you all to take a look at the photo's. I'm sure these would make the top 10 best ever uses of duct take, they may even put Red Green to shame.
