Lesson Learned by a Foolish Woman
Well just wanted to share a lesson I just learned with ya. I got a call from my husband today to say there was a category 3 hurricane coming to hit us saturday and he wanted me to run out and get supplies before everyone freaked and there wasn't anything left. So I did with 3 cranky kids in tow. Well I will no describe the experience with the kids, laugh now, sorda. I did scare a few ladies in the store about a hurricane coming and spent lots of money on batteries, water, canned food, etc. I then and only then went to the internet when I got home to see that well this Category 3 is now a cat. 4. However our weather people claim Monday to be partly cloudy and this cat 4 will dwindle to a tropical storm before hitting us. So a lesson to all. Be stocked and ready with your 72 hr kits and 3 mth supply and hurricane proof stuff, so you don't look the fool. Oh and i also called my realtor to see what they were going to do with the house. WE in Alabama and florida, know all about hurricanes and board up all the time. Here in Hawaii I guess you look for the tropical surf. Oh well lesson learned. May everyone's Monday be partly cloudy with a chance of rain. Thanks.

Watch the cool video, an actual food storage room.
Ok so it worked. Here is a video of a lady in Utah who actually has a food storage room. Now she lives in utah and has a basement, but i'm sure we can find places around our houses to store things, inside away from too much humidity, which is really only bad if you want it to last more than a year of five or whatever it may be. So check this out. I was so excited and amazed I couldn't stop looking at everything. Never seen someone with a full years supply. Have fun. There are more things out there on youtube.com so just type in food storage and see what pops up.
Noah's Ark Booklet
Here is another idea of how to get a years supply of food storage a week at a time. Nice pictures and design at theideadoor.com under foodstorage and noah's ark booklet. I just couldn't copy it any other way. Enjoy.
. . . Noah built the ark.
It wasn’t raining when . . .

Lets get motivated
Well I felt impressed to make a food storage page since all the info really doesn't fit on any other page and I hope to have a lot to say or yal add alot. So Lets seek out help and info on the web or books and post it here for all to see.
We know the prophets have told us we need to have it.
We LIVE ON AN ISLAND.
Makes sense for emergencies.
Makes sense for job loss.
Saves money if don't have to run to store for one thing and buy 20.
Lets get busy sisters.
How about starting with rice.
Lets see if anyone can get even an extra bag of rice or whatever you choose. STart at 5 or 10 dollars a week.
Get motivated for your family.
Make room under the beds. A whole years food, stay alive food, will fit under everyones beds. Make room at top of closets, declutter an area, give away unneeded items, hide under a tablecloth or behind curtains on a blank wall. There are many ideas, but getting started is the hard part. Got ideas. Let us know. In the mean time I plan to post, post, post.
