Karen, yes it all comes by boat...do you remember seeing the big shipping containers sometimes in the docks near the cruise ships? They bring one right up to our house. They load it up just like they would a big truck. Then that is trucked to Antrwerp and sent by ship from there. It should leave here about the 20th or so of July and we will probably have it in Hintsville by the end of August. Probably more than you wanted to know but there you are!
