I was surprised to see both sugar and flour on sale when the grocery sale ad came out today. There were only a couple of bags of each left a few days ago. I will be adding both to my upcoming grocery order. I took a look at the Red Mill website and they really are cleaned out, aren't they! I wonder if this is the 'new normal.'Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-52550061298300224202020-03-21T21:24:56.922-05:002020-03-21T21:24:56.922-05:00Tore apart my Country Living grain mill and cleane...Tore apart my Country Living grain mill and cleaned it. We then took turns grinding white wheat into flour.It was not only exercise but the outcome was something edible in the next batch of bread. Received my last order of Red Mill today. They are out of stock on almost everything according to their site. Lord please let the grains grow even if planted late. Be kind with the weather so this planet can be fruitful. This will keep those who covet power at bay until You remind them that You are the One in charge.

I am humbled. Sometimes my blog posts are just for fun, for even at times like these, we need a little humor to keep from going crazy. Other times, as you know, a rant will appear. But mostly, all I have ever wanted to do here was to let others know that even in circumstances like ours, we can get prepared for whatever life tosses at us. Not everyone is in a place where we can raise a huge garden or keep milk and meat animals. Not everyone is able to can food. But we can do exactly what you have done. You are miles ahead of those who will soon be wondering where their next meal will be coming from, and I applaud you and your efforts. Small towns are the very best, where folks know everyone and care about one another and I am so very glad you are in a place like that. Stay safe and keep well. And let us know from time to time how you are doing. After all, we are all in this together.

Your blog writings enabled me to be prepared for this time right now...I am safe, secure and have plenty of food, other essentials and water for at least 2 months...if not for your blog, I never would have awakened and gotten to this point of safety....Thank you so much! lynney62https://www.blogger.com/profile/13495408937759095258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-21829024678730619762020-03-21T09:48:33.869-05:002020-03-21T09:48:33.869-05:00Jean...There is nothing silly about repeating word...Jean...There is nothing silly about repeating words that bring peace and comfort and a smile.

People can go out and get food, medicine,gas, ammo (which if you weren't already stocked) :( and items from Home Depot for safety and repairs. A friend just got back into town from traveling for work. I said he needed to take an inventory of everything he uses. laundry, personal care, household, staples etc. Go old school on Coffee and remember the filters. See where the holes are and fill them. I told him he needed to get a cooler and head out to the local markets and get what he could at each one. Not to be picky about brands. Also he needed to consider storage of leftovers. The saving grace for him is he is in a Critical Industry and will able to be out and about. Just be careful and don't abuse it. I'm replacing my screen doors with security doors. My contractor is doing that next weekend. Since my Husband and I are considered Seniors, right now there is no issue for work being done.<br /><br />The only real concern I have are Bad Actors, and some in the State, who are waiting in the wings here ready to misbehave. Some are totally lacking in Honor, and will view this as an opportunity to steal whatever they can.<br /><br />Everyone be safe, healthy and in God's Safekeeping.
