Greetings, All
Fortunately I checked the “Notify Me” box so I can keep up with everyone’s accomplishments. I have been negligent in posting my own.
Corsair: I like those train cases; yes, they do look familiar once I looked them up. Perfect for First Aid/Medical kit as long as they are waterproof. I need to collect our supplies into one location. Mostly, the First Aid stuff is in the bathroom near the main door where we would most likely head if we had an injury. The general health/medicinal stuff is in the second floor bathroom near the bedrooms. I need to check out your Stanley tool box.
So, the Train Cases, are kinda like tackle boxes. When my family was heavy into Scouts, I used a plastic tackle box to store items needed for Pack/Troop Meetings. It held additional ranks, badges, Arrow Points, markers, glue, tape, etc., everything that could be needed at the last minute. Then my daughter took it and it evolved into a box for her flower arranging supplies. She worked for a florist for a time. Because of her experience and eye, she was able to prepare the flowers for weddings of friends and relatives and fixed or finalized many items on-site. I’d like to have that box back again, but alas, it has evolved.
Little Sister: I hope you are finding places for your food. I have a full basement to use, and there are not enough shelves. Somehow, what we have is never “quite” right…not enough of this, too many of that…
You have put up so much this month it sounds as if you have tremendous energy! I know we are about the same age, but I marvel at how much you do and it makes me tired just thinking about it.
I hope you were able to get some needed items from your pharmacist. And, your DHs sleep patterns have adjusted.
Laser Slingshot: At Walmart? Cool, I’ll look for it, too. Perhaps I might even be able to hit something with it. I have poor depth perception and need a laser sight.
Mama Cando: My ex was in the military, and it is a definitely different way of life. Both sheltered, by the cocoon of the military/government, and widely exposed with the travels. It takes a special person/spouse to live that life, best wishes to them. This northern girl was shocked when she lived in Georgia for a year. As a very young wife, with a sheltered life, I had no idea that other than climate, different parts of the country were not the same as mine. I never got to live in another country though.
Bunker: Sounds like a great idea! Your grandson will be a big help and will learn so many things in the process. He should take great pride in his work. I wish you a lot of fun, energy, and best wishes in outfitting your bunker; plus, prayers that you never need it.
Butter beans: Interesting that we have different names for things. Here we don’t grow Butter Beans…people might grow Lima Beans. My mother never liked to eat them, so did not serve them, and neither my husband nor I appreciate them either. No wonder I get confused looking at recipes. The English and American recipes need translation into local dialects. Lol Courgettes, for example
