To follow the prophet's counsel to get out of debt and have food storage, dad and I went to the cannery and canned 1,709 pounds of wheat. That is 49 cases of 6 #10 cans. Don't we look cute in our hair nets.
You fill a can with wheat, put in a packet of air stuff, put on a lid and then onto the machine which spins the can while sealing the lid. The wheat is proven to last 30 years if stored this way. That should get us through our life time. We will leave it in a will to the rest of you guys if not used by then.
Just to have fun, Nancy left the lid off one of the cans when putting on the sealing machine. You should see the wheat fly through the cannery. However, it really slows down the process when you have to stop and clean it all up. Did make us laugh though.
Yes we did get all the boxes into the car but we did meet the limit.

Thanks for the updates. My gosh I'm starting to feel like we're neglecting our own blog cause you guys put up so much stuff. You're one up on us for sure now because we've never done video. Hopefully that'll change soon. Congratulations to both Lindsaura and Laurindswey are in order. I'm very proud of you both and happy for you. Now where are my updates to GPAs? The end of semester is here and I am expecting both a phone call and proper documentation. We love you guys.
