Although envy is a sin, I must admit I'm jealous of your wonderful marriages and families. While I was married, caring for my children, taking them to church, my husband was out having affairs with men. When I finally threw him out my children sided with him and so at 73 I find myself alone, doing all that you two women do, without the benefit of having a wonderful man by my side to share the work. Today I am dehydrating onions, freezing zucchini and closing up my garden. Then I am going to figure out how to install some more bookshelves to hold all my preparedness books! Didn't know you had a medical book out but will check out Amazon. I love your cookbook! So glad you haven't given up blogging!<br /><br />Lady Clare<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-67516663763397873512016-09-13T22:35:05.173-07:002016-09-13T22:35:05.173-07:00They are indeed labels!

Or are they indeed a label?<br />I tried painting my own labels on my plastic containers and failed miserably. <br />Now I use a Dymo label printer with a pretty font. Though I really like the look of the black with white writing.PollyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674504456959797119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-17494230784847328832016-09-13T17:59:52.605-07:002016-09-13T17:59:52.605-07:00Beautiful, indeed!

The candy came in these square, clear plastic containers. He thought those would be perfect for our pantry. He hunted down the manager of the sample people and asked if he could have the containers. She said Yes, as they were just throwing them away. We also got approval from the Costco manager on duty. We came home that day with about 10 containers. Over they years we have picked up many more. <br />Now we have so many he stores screws, bolts, nails, anything in the clear containers. <br />I saw the same containers on the Container Store website for $4 each! <br />I love having a clear view of what is in my pantry. And yes, all those full containers of full food for my family is a wonderful sight to behold. <br />Thanks for sharing!<br />BTW, I bought your two books this past weekend. The medical book will go with others on that subject, hopefully not to be used, but ready if need be. <br />The cookbook will be well used. My daughter has already gone through and marked the recipes she wants to try.

I use everything on those shelves frequently, so nothing is really in long term storage there.

Sometimes they gave them to him, glad to have them out of the back room, other times he had to pay .50 cents a piece. Either way, we ended up with cases of jars. I use them in my kitchen and also when we have a milk cow, for fresh milk. His perseverance paid off!Enola Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719123975236426938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-80534712060117053692016-09-13T10:46:46.516-07:002016-09-13T10:46:46.516-07:00Love the photos and so glad to have you back on li...Love the photos and so glad to have you back on line.
