Summer Reunion

While enjoying my family as we gathered for a family reunion last week, I thought about how very blessed we are. We had so much food, so much fun! We had amazing foil dinners, fresh local corn on the cob, blueberries, soda, watermelon, hot dogs hot dog hot dogs! Breakfast was great with yummy breakfast burritos. We had a s'mores gourmet competition and I'm sure we all are a bit thicker around the middle after that!

It was sunny, beautiful and warm. Gorgeous in Roseburg, Oregon. All 7 of my children and spouses, and almost all my grandkids were in attendance.

I lay in my tent at night, listening to the Umpqua river rushing by about 40 feet away and I thought,'what would life be like without all the conveniences we enjoy?' What if I didn't have access to the fresh yummy food we were eating. What if we were displaced from our homes due to some disaster and actually had to live in tents?

I AM preparing to keep my family comfortable and fed in troubled times. I AM laying aside a store of food that we can survive on and actually Thrive on for almost a year if necessary. I AM doing all I can to help my friends and family to be better prepared than they were yesterday.

I Am and will continue to be an active and sincerely earnest independant consultant for Shelf Reliance premium freeze dried and dehydrated products and emergency supplies. Doing my best to help each of you to do the same.

I am at your service.

THE Q. WHAT IS IT?

Well, it's the 17th letter in the english alphabet.

BUT, in any other country but America, a 'Q' is another word for 'line up'. It's spelled differently too. 'Queue'. So what does this international bit of trivia have to do with the price of corn in Kansas? A LOT!

At Shelf Reliance you can 'line up' or 'Q' a list of foods for your family for a determined amount of time. Say you are a family of 4 and you would like to provide your family a well balanced and nutritious diet of about 2000 calories per day.

And say you would like to have long-storing food (like THRIVE)in your pantry for emergency use and/or the daily convenience of it all, that would amount to about 12 months.

After using the free tool online called the 'Thrive planner' or 'food calculater, the computer would generate a 'line up' or 'Q' of the amount of Thrive foods they recommend to give you balance meals per day. Everything you would use would be listed there from soups, sugar, strawberries, pancake mix, eggs, chicken to wheat, brown sugar, salt, milk and of course, the essentials like coconut macaroons and freeze dried ice cream sandwiches! AND you can customize the list by editing it to your taste preferences or dietary needs.

It's genius really, cuz then you can start a systematic acquisition of these foods at a monthly budget you can afford. (Shelf Reliance recommends that you try to 're-alocate' money you are already spending on groceries toward your food storage) Most people start out about $100 per month.

Then at the appointed day of the month, pre-determined by you, Shelf Reliance will deliver that portion of your 'Q' directly to your door! Just like the old fashioned milkman used to do!

Most importantly of all, THIS is what the 'Q' has to do with the price of corn in Kansas: PEOPLE ON THE 'Q' GET THE ROCK BOTTOM LOWEST PRICES ON THEIR PRODUCTS! A great way to invest in your food insurance!

The Q! There now. Don't you just feel all suave and continental?
