The other day Richard said we needed some food storage items and asked what kind of food my mom had in our pantry as I was growing up. Aside from the 200 pounds of wheat (or whatever it was) mom had canned tomatoes, apricots and other bottled products. She tried so hard to build her RS empire.
It was probably 20 years later when we were told that if wheat is not a household staple, probably it would not be a good storage item. It was recommended that we store what we already eat. So Richard purchased a lot of canned products, pasta and beans. He purchased items on Friday and yesterday we tackled the back room to rotate all new items purchased behind what was already there.
I think we must have spent three hours or so arranging not only the food itself but the shelving units. We assigned Jaime to take things to each shed and rearrange the game area. We also got rid of some glued puzzle pictures and replaced each with a clock that looks like a big key and her graduation photo.
We are finished with the food, I think. But still have odds and ends on the table that will need a home. But we had to break for lunch and haven’t returned as we are each exhausted. But there is no law that says we need to have it all done right now. There’s always tomorrow. Why not spread the fun out into this coming week?
