Mid life crisis or good sense?

Patricia woke up to a vivid dream... the need to move faster with food storage. So she went out and bought water and many, many cans of vegetables on sale at PathMark. She will try to buy more items each time she makes a purchase at the store. The family has lots of wheat and potato flakes but need MANY more things. Learning how to prepare the wheat into something edible would be a good start too!!

Feeling inspired after the Ailey reunion, Patricia decided to take her first ballet class again after almost two decades. Wondering if this is a mid life crisis or feeling the need to finally drop all the extra pounds over the decades?? The money could also be used for life insurance for Patricia in the event something happened to her?? What to do?

One day at a time, and it's time to soak the very tired, stiff muscles... it's probably better to sort out one's life choices when we're not in pain.

gratitude thought: grateful for hot water and a bed!!

grateful that my dyed ballet slippers came out a decent color brown

grateful that leotards come in large and extra large sizes

grateful that Daniel's flight to San Fransisco went well, that Dakota loves being on campus at Rutgers (he even asked if he could live on campus next year as a senior, and mom and dad replied NO).

grateful that Jewel is happy going to school just loving life!

Found a good book on the internet all about using your wheat storage entitled, "Wheat for Man, How and Why" which contains, among other things, many recipes that can be not only nutritious, but very tasty!
P.S. Love your blog and keeping up with you and your family.

Thank you so much and I will look into it. With Jewel using a hard fought for school bus, and Dakota being more mobile on campus (via Rutgers buses) I can start going to the cannery too. I hope the kids like the recipies...it's hard to compete with Burger King!!

If interested, go to this web site for great book prices. That is where I found my book and they have several more of the same title.
