My ''Inherited'' Greed

 
My blessed dearest mother was a hoarder of food,
our cupboards and freezer where over flowing;
this inherited "greed" in me I have subdued,
rest in peace mom-   MY battle is still on going !

James Marshall Goff Date: 6/26/2022 9:02:00 AM Smiling Constance! I like to keep 3wks food/water on hand, most everyone I know does similar, easier this time of yr, as freshies are always poppin' in my community garden plot & visits to farmers markets are such a delightful outing to take ma to, plop her down with coffee & a roll she's in heaven people watching!

Aurore Severo Date: 6/22/2022 12:32:00 AM I sure get that :) Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 6/22/2022 7:48:00 PM Aurore, lol, yes sometimes 4 for $ is not such a bargain when you are throwing away, 3 ! I have had to really walk away from those kinds of sales and just by one of whatever, and it has to be actually something I need. blessings ~Constance

FJ Thomas Date: 6/21/2022 8:20:00 PM A major accomplishment Constance. I hope you have been well :) Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 6/22/2022 7:50:00 PM FJ, nice to hear from you, I am well and hope you are too. Yes, it is a struggle sometimes to not slip back into the food hoarding thing, but I just keep reminding myself how much food does one girl need, blessings ~Constance
