TESTING, TESTING...

 Although the "suggested focus" each month is a way to guide us through creating, adding to, rotating our food storage, kits and emergency supplies, it is only a suggestion.  Sometimes, we just need to work in a little here and there, the point is to DO SOMETHING each month to be prepared for future needs. Our household has owned a wheat grinder/flour mill for more than 40 years.  Never been used.  A few years ago, we purchased a "hand crank" mill for our preparedness supplies.  I grew up watching my mother grind wheat and bake bread each week.  Mostly as a way to rotate our HUGE store of wheat.  I came from a large family and my folks believed in food storage!  Many a FHE was spent price comparing between grocery stores and then calculating a plan of action.  We each had our assignment and pad of paper to "research" our products and write down the prices.  It was a blast at the time, as an adult, now, it is a chore.  Thank goodness...
