A friend of mine on an online forum has a grown son that LOVES football.
REALLY loves football. For the family vacation last year, he took his wife and kids to the Football Hall of Fame, lol!
Anyway, they took pictures and entered one in a contest to get Super Bowl tickets.
They are currently in second place...PLEASE help them get to first!
The web site is HERE
The picture is the one for WEEK 5
.
You can only vote once per email address and voting closes at 5 pm tomorrow....get friends and family to vote as well...this family has had some struggles in the past year and this would be such a boost to them!

Good Things to Stock Up On
More stocking up ideas for your food and emergency storage.
I am a great fan of Dollar Stores.
Everything For $1
Family Dollar
Dollar General
Please don't turn your nose up at shopping at these discount stores as you can get really good bargains!
Always, but ALWAYS check expiration dates (that goes for anything you plan to put in long term storage!).
Here is a partial list of some items I have bought at the above named stores and found to be quite good/useful.
Lemon Juice
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Various Canned Meats (including the ever popular DAK hams!)
Soups
Shampoo
Band Aids
Candles
Sterno Fuel
Mini-Flashlights (perfect for tucking into a purse or back-pack)
Soaps
Wash Cloths (have you seen those bundles of 10 or 15 for 5 bucks?)
Olive Oil
Vinegar
Small buckets (milk pails at farm store were $8.99, same sized bucket at dollar store $1.00. My goats do not seem to mind!)
Aspirin
Paper
Pens
Spices
Baking Soda
Salt
The list of useful items goes on and on! A lot of items end up being used daily here, other items end up in my long term storage. I make one trip per month and have a budget of $25.00 for what I will buy.
Check out your local discount/dollar store!

Breakfast This Morning
I had a good breakfast...I had already finished my chores and chased the fella off to work and the kids off to school, so I decided to totally indulge myself...
Oatmeal with apple bits and cinnamon
Bacon
Chai tea with whipped cream
Yummmm!
Only problem is trying to eat bacon in front of my dog...
Look at that face! She obviously thinks a snippet of bacon is the only thing between her and starvation! And, if I don't give said bacon to her, I will be guilty of doggie-cide! Siona has mastered the art of giving me an imploring look while giving me an accusing look as well....yeah, I gave her a piece of bacon.
