Every Fall, Emily and I prepare for the coming Winter months by making lists of items that we may need to keep us cozy and comfy in the cold days. No one wants to be heading out to the stores while a blizzard rages on.
So like the squirrels outdoors, we prepare. We sit down and make lists. There is a medicine list consisting of flu and cold medicines, cough drops, tissues and honey.
A clothes list follows, but only the small stuff like thick socks, personal items such as undies, woolen pajamas. Do we need new gloves or boots or a coat?
The kitchen pantry supplies make up the largest list of all. That's where Costco comes in handy, buying bulk-size. We usually stock up on flour, yeast, sugar, pasta, grains etc. Things of that nature.
Even the car gets a prep job with a new tune up, a good cleaning both inside and out plus a vacuum.
The apartment gets a makeover as curtains are changed, walls and carpets cleaned and thicker blankets brought out. The windows are sealed tight and the heat gets turned on.
We are getting ready. Have a blessed day everyone.
