We knew it was coming and 2.I have always kept a little extra on hand at all times.With raising 7 children going shopping and meal plans had to be well organized. It is just my hubby and I now but he is retiring next spring. I plan on continuing on having a well stocked pantry. I see the news reports and my heart goes out to them all.I feel we all should be some what ready for a time frame of being able to feed our families.I'm sure a lot of people never thought it would happen to them.You have said many times it only takes a little bit here and there to have a stock of some food items.tealadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233373939739704642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-90051942138630979852016-06-11T23:23:12.792-04:002016-06-11T23:23:12.792-04:00I look forward to your coming article on what you ...I look forward to your coming article on what you have learned. I didn't realize Venezuela was in a crisis! That is what I get for not listening to the news! I continue to set a little bit aside each paycheck and it really does help in building a stocked pantry. I live in a very small place so I need to figure out how to be a bit more creative for storage.

Though I can read articles like this and not get freaked out, it does have me going over my pantry to see where I can add to it, or if there are any holes that need to be filled. <br /><br />Thank you..again..for the timely reminder that we all need to prepare the best we can.<br /><br />Blessings, MarshaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-7633459871308624942016-06-11T16:31:10.657-04:002016-06-11T16:31:10.657-04:00Great article!

We've been deepening the pantry slowly for 3 years now. Every little bit helps. Also learned how to pressure can, and canning beans, venison, and even vege beef soup has helped so much! God's Blessings to you and yours, and thank you so much for your blog!

They did have help from CARE and my mil felt that had saved them a few times....Usually they at least had bread. But Paul remembers friends who went days without even bread. Or even potatoes....But one resource they had (besides their own work and trying to raise food) was the kindness of neighbors. There were neighbors who would show up with a little extra food for them. (My fil was in a communist jail. My mil had ten children, some adult, and a mother in law to provide for.) I was trying to think of a way one could think of this resource as a deepening of the pantry, but all I could think of was to help others in ones community when they needed help and one had something to share. And this is something we are called to do, I believe.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.com
