Inspiring Preparedness Seminar

I went to a very good seminar last night about being prepared for a Pandemic. I just wanna share some of the things I learned there. First of all here is a link from BYU Idaho for a 17 minute video clip on the Flu Pandemic. http://www.byui.edu/safety/Pandemic_Web_Page.htm
After you access this page scroll down to the Video Portion and click on it.

Some of the things I learned from the presentation that I want to share are:

Some Suggested Pandemic Supplies:(this seems like a lot but it's better to be overprepared than underprepared!

everything

Fall

Looks like my posting has come down to once a month! I want to do it more, just find myself doing other things! We have been able to do some fun things this fall. My brother Zane came home from his mission Oct 6th. He was serving in Mesa, AZ. He is doing well. We were able to go to my neices and nephews birthday parties in Wyoming. And my sister Amy and her family came down here a couple weeks ago and went to a corn maze and pumpkin patch with us. It was alot of fun!
