Prepared?

You bet I am, or at least a little closer to it. So I did as I promised and actually got more accomplished than I had planned which I am really excited about. Ironically, the day after that enrichment someone's place in my neighborhood burned down so you better believe I got that fire extinguisher. That was my one thing to do to get more prepared over the weekend but then I also made a plan for my dogs, established a meeting place for an emergency with Shayne and went to the dry pack cannery with my ward. I feel a little better about that tornado or fire or whatever may come one day. I know I still have a long way to go but it's a good start right?
Hilliard ward canning queens! Don't you just love our sexy outfits? Raquel had never been to a cannery so I am so glad she came even though she isn't in my ward, we had tons of fun! I operated this burly machine that seals the lids on the cans, It was fun, but messy, guess there is rhyme and reason to the silly hats and aprons! Just a few of our finished products, we did hundreds of cans. This is it, not quite as big as the cannery in Utah but we can't complain at least we have one close enough to go to (it's only 30min away)! We all had different jobs and did it in an assembly line fashion, it went real quick but was hard work!
