Greetings, All.
Safari has quit on me twice now. Frustrating. I have no idea what we will do when we can no longer communicate electronically. No phones, no internet. I don’t mind living in the country as long as I can communicate. This tenuous link is why I save everything to a hard drive or print for future use. No Cloud for me.
Prepperfan305: Best wishes. It is good to be prepared mentally and physically when something you anticipate happens. Does not mean it is a good thing, though.
Little Sister: What is it with men of that age? “I don’t need hearing aids it is you who is not speaking loudly enough. I don’t need a cane, I am too vain to be seen with one and I am NOT fragile.” Personally, I DO need hearing aids, just don’t have the money to get them. We have my MIL’s walker in the basement, just gathering dust, for when we do need it.
Old Mt. Woman: A 40’container is a start, right? Chuckle.
Imagine this: a concrete “basement” with its rooftop three feet below ground. The well and septic for the main house (or tiny house) goes through the basement, first. Electrical generation and ventilation. Murphy beds. Full kitchen, large panty. One access is through the attached root cellar. Top it with a concrete patio which is in front the mobile tiny house. You can bug-in or bug out! Prepared for anything. A dream.
That dream will not happen on our social security payments alone. We would have to sell this house and property. To do that, I need Hubby to get off his computer and stop watching the news and get rid of his stuff.
My sewing machine is humming along. I am glad I cleaned and oiled the bobbin case to find the tip of a needle. I did not need to throw away the thread because it was fraying. My shirt will be finished today. The flannel hugs the neck and the front is asymmetrical enough to be interesting. An easy pattern. I sorted my yarn by color last week, when this shirt is finished it is time to sort my fabric stash. There are no pieces large enough to make much, mostly for decorations or quilting. No I am not ready to learn how to quilt. Yet.
We continue to eat completed meals from the freezer. Stuffed peppers, and Vegan Shepherd’s Pie. I still have a lot of zucchini. Maybe a vegetable stew, or a chocolate zucchini cake??? I can find things in there now, and rearrange things too.
Thank you for the idea. I should try canning Ghee. I have not tried to use the canned bacon I made a couple months ago. Both of those would really empty freezer space. Leaving room for things that cannot be canned: pizza, yeast, and nuts.
Little by little. Step by step. Each step does not seem like much, but holes are being made where they should be and skills are learned.
It is so nice to be able to talk to you all about each step.
Thank you, All.
