I loved this one!! Especially all the humor and talk of the dogs. Don’t get me wrong I love all of them but this one in particular had me laughing! 🤣🤣🤣

You never met Kodi. The dog was a rapist.

The lack of wine would be tricky. Good heads up!! Great photos.

Nothing was open. It was weird. I could lick the window all I wanted after a bad day, but nope. Nada. They were rarely in the mood to be open.

Sounds a little bit like the area I live…coastal rural may advertise hours but here they are “optional.” So I am learning to bulk up on necessities like wine. Or chocolate. and cat food.

I can’t imagine it being this bad. I think you could drive to a city center in an hour, two at worst three… in this territory there is no other place. You have to wait until Wednesday or dive.

I’m in a rural area. It’s not like there. It’s probably like you? We have a few 24 hour services an hours drive away, but not for alcohol ( state law ends sales at midnight)).

Desolate would be too difficult for me. I get cranky in just rural. The nearest art supply store is about an hour and a half away, or three days by Amazon. Fortunately I do live adjacent to wine country and you can buy that and craft beer almost everywhere…groceries stores, gas stations, gift shops.

I order my supplies by dick blick. Otherwise it’s getting robbed by a michael’s an hour away.

I love the Merri Artist and St. Louis Art Supplies. Both have great service, good pricing and fast shipping. Or Wet Paint. Blick overwhelms me.

Our nearest town is infested with craft beer: Marquette, MI

Hahaha. Infested is a good description! We know Marquette. We lived in Duluth and my brother in law lived in Marquette for a short time.
