I made the most amazing Limonade today because someone decided to drop off 2 50 pound bags of limes! Last week someone else dropped off a big bushel of Hopa (plantain bananas) and the week before that still another person dropped off a basket full of Coconuts.
I do not yet know who dropped off the limes but when I do find out I will make a lime pie for them as a thank you.
I find it absolutely amazing that people will just drop by and leave food for you without coming to the door to say hello or leave a note to tell us who these generous people are. They don't want you to know who they are. Completely selfless and humble these people just try to help!
But I think I know who left the limes. Sam came by the other day while I was making some limonade and he asked me if this was something I do often but I only make it when limes are in season and you can get 15 for $3. Today I have so many limes that they will last me for many months. Barry and I will sit and juice all of these and freeze the juice so that we can have limonade all year long instead of just a few months a year.
When Sandy dropped off a whole bushel of bananas I made her banana bread. Now every time she wants banana bread she drops off bananas. I think she is the one who dropped off the Hopa last week but I have not seen her yet to ask her.
There may not be a whole lot in Vava'u but the people here more then make up for the lack of department stores.
I love it here.
