It was a sold out class on Saturday in Manhattan and we had a blast! We went over the complete 72 hour emergency kit, how to purify water, how to store all kinds of food long term, developed individual storage plans and finished it all off with a wonderful made-from-the-pantry meal cooked by chef Jeremy. Feedback was wonderful and everyone seemed to have a good time. There's talk of inviting me out to Junction City to teach this workshop again and maybe going back to Manhattan to teach canning and garden planning. Woot! Have I mentioned that I love teaching?
On the home front, we spoke with Chad Bowen of Bowen excavating about getting some dirt work done around our farm. We hope to get the estimate back from him this week so that we can get started on the first of those projects.
We're gearing up for Halloween too. I finished Catherine's Hogwart's robes tonight (she's going to be Hermione Granger from Harry Potter). We're working on Jacob's outfit still. He chose to be FDR (as in Franklin Delenore Roosevelt) for Halloween. Unfortunately, boys suit jackets are not cheap and we haven't had any luck finding a used one. I bought a pattern to see if I could sew one for a reasonable price, but I think the fabric would be just as expensive as buying a new one. There's also the tiny detail of my not being a very good seamstress. The search continues.
For the last couple of weeks, we've been devoting large amounts of time to a project that we can't quite talk about yet. Hopefully, we'll have some good news on that front in the next week and we can let the rest of the world in on the newest craziness in our lives. Until then, sorry for the radio silence - we haven't slowed down, just redirected. ;-)
