SICK-O

There is nothing like being sick to throw a wrench in your plans. Not like I had grand plans this week, but I'd prefer to do just about anything over puking my guts out all day. Today I am on the mend. I can actually sit up--now that's a start!

A few going ons from the Kunz house:

I finally bit the bullet and learned how to can food!! I think this is some kind of rite of passage for LDS woman. Many thanks to LeeAnn for her persistence. I've always wanted to start a food storage, but it all seemed so overwhelming. It still does seem overwhelming, but you have to start somewhere, right? And if there ever is an emergency or my hubby were to lose his job, at least we'll have some rice to eat! I canned over 200 pounds of rice that should stay good for 30+ years and I started on some sugar. We also stocked up on our salt and honey. And like Tamee said, if for any reason to do it, it's for that "peace of mind."
On Saturday, we finally bought some bushes, plants, flowers for the front flower bed. In between severe thunderstorm and tornado watches, Rob was able to plant and mulch just about everything. He also cleared out the gutters again because our back stairwell started flooding. While he was up on the roof, he encouraged Tyler to climb up and was able to get Jared up to the top of the ladder, but he was too scared to climb on the roof. I'm not too sure how I feel about this climbing adventure, but I have to trust Rob that he would not put the boys in any danger...
