drying food

We got some parsnips and carrots from Melvin a few days ago and Phil and I took care of them yesterday and today. It is a good feeling to see the results of our work and to know we have some food storage items that didn't cost anything and will be good for a long time. We didn't let them waste(Melvin was going to plow them under and get ready to plant another garden soon) so it was a two-fold accomplishment, waste not, want not", Prepare for needful times".

I am trying to learn how to use this blog so not sure what will happen . The picture above has nothing to do with carrots and parsnips. It is a project we did in our stake and ward for humanitarian aid and our ward did 5 quilts. I was project manager for that great event. Our stake did a lot of other things also, like hygiene kits, school kits ect. plus about 50 or 60 quilts. Now to save this and not lose it like I did the last one.

THIS BLOG KEEPS ME IN TOUCH WITH BREA AND THATS A GOOD THING AND MAYBE I WILL GET THE HANG OF IT SOMEDAY.

Keegan's first birthday

Great get-tobether

Dot and her two daughters Leah and Brea and Leah's 3 children were here for 4 days and what a great time we had. We made tamale's, did a quilt that Brea had pieced, worked on Phils personal History and just had a good time playing games and hanging our. I miss them and wish they could have stayed another day. We got to know Kylie , Dallon and Chloe. She is so good and sweet and fun.
