Today I cleaned out the Breakfast Food Closet and did an inventory to make sure we had our year supply of items. Our menu is pretty simple and easy to store. However, it always seems to take quite a while to get everything back in order and ready for the next year.
Clifford and I found some hamburger on sale today so I bought 6 pounds and canned it for my meals in a bag. I am just amazed at the price of food now since I don't do the shopping or much cooking. I did not use the "Sun Oven" today and even cooked a cake for family home evening in the house oven. I was canning and it was hot already. On the 3rd shelf you can see the canned beef and chicken and other cans. Sorry for the bad picture but this is in the hall way and hard to get good lighting. The clear bags each have a date, recipe and food for that meal. Each shelf holds 8 meals so I have 24 meals there. 
Tuesday July 31 - I was working on the Food storage closets more. I got the menu's and food ready for August and September. I am doing half of each month with the meals in a Bag that Melanie introduced me to. It is nice to have them outlined and ready to start school.
Tonight we had "Corn on the Cob" and you can tell that Rebekah 1year-old loves it. It is so fun to see them growing and learning. Clifford was excited because he was able to pick up his next gun. The shooting range is not open until Thursday so he will be cleaning it and taking it apart to see how it works. Guns and gardening seems to be his contribution to the years supply.
We pulled more carrots from the garden for the roast this week and they are huge and sweet. Our peaches are beginning to ripen and will need canned by the end of this week. Of course, just in time for school to start. That will be an evening or weekend activity. Nothing like fresh fruit ripened on the tree. We only have our peach tree and citrus trees left so we enjoy them as the fruit ripens.
End of July and my last days of summer vacation. It has been a great summer with visiting family and friends. We enjoyed the cool weather in Washington and Oregon and loved seeing children and grandchildren, sisters and parents. We have been able to spend time together as a couple and with family. We are grateful for the tender mercies that have blessed our lives these last few months.
