Funny priorities today!
 

So, we are pretty sure to have a blizzard coming. Like, 24-36 inches of snow. I've lived here all my life but I'm still a snow-hater so that isn't good news as far as I'm concerned. Not to mention that my condo is all-electric, so if the power goes out, I've got nothing - no cooking, no heat, no .... sewing?

But oh contraire! The first things I do are... make sure I have enough cereal and milk (because I can live on that for a couple of days, for sure), and make doubly sure my hand-crank sewing machine is threaded and ready! LOL I cracked myself up this morning because I took out the machine before I even checked to see that my radio worked!

Oh well, hunker down everyone and GOOD LUCK!! :)

Stay safe! You know what the priorities are!

It's great you have a hand crank!

Stay safe!! What I wouldn't give to get that snow right now. We could use the snowmobiles for the first time this year. :)

Hope you stay safe! Hand crank!!!

i hope you have more than a couple days of food .!! when the warnings come out , and when you can, get more supplies in so you don't need to go out on the unsafe roads. be safe .and stay under your quilts..

It does look like it is going to be a blizzard! Wish I had a hand crank sewing machine but I do have a hand crank flash light.:D

Hey, you're more prepared than I was this AM! DH and I were out last night. Stopped in the grocery store with the rest of the folks stocking up. Not too bad. The only thing I could think that we needed was butter. Good to go for a few days with the rest of the provisions in the house. Yeah, right, till we got home. Feed the dogs...oops - should have picked up dog food. Get up this AM and make coffee...oops - should have picked up coffee. Guess where I was at 8AM? WITH MY LIST this time! All set now for the 20+ inches they are calling for here. At least I hope so. Will probably find something else I'm without before the day is over.

Have fun with your hand crank. Wish I had one of those.

A clay planter, the one with the hole in the bottom, turned upside down with a candle will keep a small room warm. I can heat my master bath just fine. Of course you need to close the door. I keep oil lamps, a sterno stove, small coffee pot, to make coffee or heat a can of soup. I keep lots of paper plates and plastic forks so I don't have to wash dishes. I am in Texas but we do get the ice and lose our power too. Blessings to you all.

Got couple thermos you can put some hot water in? Anyone you know have a charcoal grill or propane gas grill? My sons live in Indiana. they set their grills up and never stopped eating. Cooked all their meals and some neighbors. Of course is a little hard to do and probably prohibited in a condo plex. Hope your power doesn't go out!
