Preparedness Challenge, Oct 25

1. Garden work: not this week, but we'll be "winterizing" soon

2. Preserve something: Got a bunch of frozen berries from the cannery.

3. Work on food storage: Stocked up on potatoes ($3 for 20 pounds), the frozen berries that I hope don't get ruined cause the freezer warms up, cereal for $1.25 a box

4. Other preparedness tasks: working on getting the storage room organized so we can clearly see how much we have of soap, deodorant, laundry detergent, etc. Not to be confused with the food storage room that is filled to over-flowing....

5. Try a new recipe or a new variation: Several, but none come to mind. Oops.

6. Financial preparedness: Still out of debt except the mortgage. Thinking of re-financing the home.

7. Work on local food systems: Grateful to have gotten boxes and boxes of free apples. Hoping for more, LOL.

8. Learn something new:
Helping our son plan his wedding reminds me of planning our wedding - surprised I remember so much - and interesting what my take is 23 1/2 years later....
