Cinnamon Grammy, thanks for sharing your interest in needlework and sewing. In times past I’ve done quite a bit of that sort of thing but gave it up for travel. Now, my traveling days may be definitely more limited so I’m taking a look again at what is in my supply room. I think making baby quilts for my someday great-grands might be a fun thing to start. Like you, I need for my hands to be busy….
My prepping today was more of the same…putting things away in long-term storage, finishing up my special recipe binder, scratch cooking my meals.
A pleasant surprise visit from my oldest sister today. She’s widowed now and lives several hours away so we don’t get together it seems that often anymore. But, I gave her one of the 115 hour candles I had bought back some months ago on sale and a pack of the six varieties of the dry soup mix I had vacuumed sealed. We also spent a little time talking about why we perhaps need to be a bit more prepared for the unexpected things in life. At least she’s thinking a bit more of what she might need in an emergency.
The rain in my area is drowning us….day after day after day….and I noticed what may be a leak in my laundry room….oh, bother….but I’ll definitely have to get someone on the roof to check it out. Still, I’m warm, have a roof over my head and food in the pantry, taxes are paid, I’m relatively healthy for my age, so I’m focusing on gratitude. And, lots of super cool folks who post on these forums so I know I’m not alone in prepping.
G-nite all…stay safe and warm those of you in the northern climes….
