We do something similar starting end of May getting ready for hurricane season each year...never Lima beans...mostly things that do not need refrigeration or cooking. The first year my dd was married her dh called to find out what kinds of things I purchased. She comes home that night and calls...."Mooooootherrrrr"..(you know how that can be said sounding like two very long separate words) you didn't give him the list with chocolate on it!!
