Family Canning Day, Simple little story of being prepared

I was talking to my friend the other day about needing to track down the stake caner...I was tickled to death when she said "I have the cannery's caner. It's set up in my garden in the backyard. Come and use it!!"
What a great opportunity it was to teach my children the importance of canning. We dry packed 300 lbs of food! It was so easy my 5 yr. old was doing it by himself. A few days after our canning day Me & Bry were making no bake cookies. "Uh Oh" I said as I opend the quaker oats..."we are out of oats Bry, what are we going to do?"I knew we were out...Bry was devastated. We would need to stop what we were doing and go to the store. Then I reminded him of the oats we had canned..he jumped down off the counter and went to the pantry and got a can of oats. His face was priceless when we opened the can together. He was amazed. He said "we have a store in our house."Simple little story of being prepared
