This was supposed to be a cold day but the cold front we are expecting is going to be another day coming in. Good. When we had that last real cold come in our kitchen water pipes froze up. When the former owners converted the back porch to a kitchen and put in the pipes they installed them right up against the outside wall of the porch (no insulation, just the porch wall) ackkkk.
We want to tear it out and extend a new kitchen by 10 feet into the back yard but that's a future date thing or is it a dream lol.
I tried climbing back in bed and getting some more sleep after Dave this left this morning but no deal on that one and after tossing and turning for 35 min. got back up.
We have had colds and flu for around 3 weeks now. Dave is much better but mine and Kath's keeps coming back on us.
I get done what I can and run after the 4 yr old and that zaps me for the day.
Coral is back from Afghanistan yayyyyyy. That is one big relief. There are lots of dangers over there for women especially that isn't being reported at all.
Here's a picture of our front yard 2 days ago.

Food Storage
Remember each time you shop pick something extra up if you
are just starting. It’s like eating an
elephant-a little at a time.
Choose any or all of
the following to place into your storage for 3 months, 6 months or 1 year storage plan.
Bouillon cubes to
flavor soups wheat meat etc.
Canned vegetables and
fruits
Canned meats
Non food Items
Bleach: Make sure
that sodium hypochlorite is the only active ingredient so this may also be used
to purify water. Also need plenty on
hand in case of flu’s and other illnesses to disinfect.
Dawn dish washing
soap, good for taking grease out of things also
Bar soap and liquid
Shampoo
Things like baking soda that come in paper or cardboard
should be transferred to glass or plastic jars, bottles or containers and or
Foodsaver bags. Stacks of Foodsaver bags can then be put in a hard bug/mouse
proof container.
Two free storage calculators are found at:
http://www.stockupfood.com/index.php This one you but is free and very good and
you can change the number of people and add foods as you need to.

Here's hoping for no more frozen pipes! Such a pain.
ReplyDeleteThank Coral for her bravery and her service. I can not imagine.
Just got my very first flu shot ever. Sure hope it helps. Was 63* yesterday and supposed to have a small ice storm come through tonight. Only takes about 1/4" to take out power lines around here. Cleaning lamps today. Take care.
