Well, I'm hoping I'm back. I am trying very hard to get excited about food storage. My own personal stash is way lower than normal and I am feeling a crunch to get it back up to par. Sometimes the hardest thing about provident living is motivation. So, I'm searching for it. If you guys out there would like to learn more about something specific please ask! I need to do some research or ponder on something. If you have a question or just a topic you would like addressed, let me know. I will address them in subsequent posts. So, to get us all back in the swing of things, here are some sources of inspiration.
