Distractions and thinking

No camera photos again!!!

But my Instagram has lots of phone photos. I admit I have not been wordy on the Instagram posts, but there are photos of life with Bear, Auggie and me.

We are all well, but between various home and rv maintenance issues and other life stuff – AND work!!! – I’ve been distracted.

Meanwhile, in addition to Instagram – another thing that has been distracting me, but I think it is worth taking a look at is a post on a food blog I like: Budget Bytes SNAP Challenge Post.

SNAP is an acronym for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the replacement for the food stamp program, here in the United States. After reading Beth’s ( Budget Bytes Blog) post, I have thought a lot about all I read. It is not just about the money for food, it is also about the place and utensils to prepare food, the knowledge of how to make the tastiest and healthiest and most filling things on a very small amount of money, the ability to get to stores and transport food home and the equipment (frig) to store food…things I take for granted. Living on a very restricted food budget has to be stressful in all kinds of ways. Until reading Beth’s post, I hadn’t really given it much thought beyond donating occasionally to my local food bank.

Now, I’m thinking.
