November is a month filled
with wonderful aromas, activities and thoughts. Fall is definitely in the air,
and many of its days will remind us winter is just around the corner. It is a
time we think of harvest, hearty meals, and wholesome living. This month as we
enjoy all that November has for us, let us keep our thoughts turned to our
preparedness. Those hearty meals with homemade breads and soups can be
primarily from a solid food storage. Thanksgiving dinner can come from the
storage shelves! As we enjoy this month of gratitude and color, let us add to
our shelves those items that provide the peace and security that preparedness
brings. As you purchase for Thanksgiving, put some on the shelf for next time.
Then no matter what happens in the world around us, we know our family will go
on living as they are accustomed to. Prepared!
