Priscilla is currently in the kitchen singing to herself and finishing construction on a tiny camp stove. It's composed of a few bits of wire and an old Lady Grey Tea tin. Oh yes, she not only bikes, but she re-uses! So much better than recycling, although she's been known to do that, too.
Today she did a little pre-trip shopping downtown. Very productive, albeit occasionally shocking. For example, she was probably a little shocked when she encountered somebody dancing right there in the Sports Authority store. Less shocking was the lack of comprehension on the part of the SA employee when he learned that the destination choices (Prince Edward Island as well as the Evangeline trail in Nova Scotia) were partly due to Anne of Green Gables and the Acadians. He hadn't even read one of the Anne books, poor soul. After much hemming and hawing and trying-on-in-the-aisle-over-one's-clothes, Priscilla and her trusty (but dancing) assistant made a detour to Blick (trusty asst. needed some non-bike things) and then on to Target for toothpaste and other very important items.
The stove is now complete, with hinges and everything, and is folded up inside an adorable pot with a lid. Tune in tomorrow for more fun with Biking Priscilla!
P.S. Actually, the tea tin thing is a windscreen for a stove James is lending her. My bad.
