Marrowstone Island - Searching for Coffee and Land - August 22, 2021

Off to Marrowstone Island to visit Annie and Nala … and the delights of Annie’s dahlias in her garden …

Then to search for coffee pods … I think that we out-smarted ourselves.  Starbucks decided to no longer support the coffee machine that we used in Bambi effective December 31, 2020 … so we could no longer get the pods that were needed to make coffee in that machine.  So, before we left Tucson, we bought the new machine that is supported by Starbucks and several boxes of pods with confidence that we could purchase additional pods along the way at Starbucks locations.  Wrong!  We tried two Starbucks locations nearby and neither had the new Vertuo pods.  So, we ended up ordering them to be delivered to Annie’s home within two days … hope that online ordering works.

And, our search for land … we have a vision of potentially spending the summer months here in the Olympic Peninsula and began our preliminary search for property.  The potential is to leave Bambi here in the PNW in storage … or even on a piece of land … and, in the future, live in Bambi, on our own land, until we decide to build on our own land.  It is likely a flawed plan … the property around here is going for astronomically high prices and we are looking for a very specific piece of property with a view, close to Port Townsend, and access to beach.  We looked at several places, each with interesting features, but nothing “rang the bell” as being what we had envisioned.  We may need to go back to the drawing board on this decision.
