The Red Door

We were monitoring Channel 6 (the community facebook) when we heard the announcement that "the Red Door now has ice cream available?" Several minutes later we met Barbara and Camelia. The Red Door is their home. You knock, she yells "come in" and asks you what you would like. The groceries come out of her cupboards and the ice cream comes out of her refrigerator and get's scooped into cones from her husbands boat. Her husband is "the only white guy in town." She got him from Toronto on the internet. She no longer has any use for the internet. Camelial is their daughter. By the time we got to the Red Door Mike had offered 1/2 the neighborhood ice cream cones. Good thing, it got us free moorage and lots of new friends. I visited with Barbara and managed he purchase while he ran back and forth delivering the goods. Good thing I had a pile of Loonies in my pocket.
