Prep Monday—Update and a Challenge


Our realtor sent us half a dozen or so properties to start looking at—yay! Now, we haven’t gone yet, we’re working on the pre-approval process, but most of those on the list are definite possibilities: 35+ acres, mostly wooded, and vacant. Good start.

A couple of them have houses pretty near, as in the owners built near the edge of their parcels, but they could still work out. One or two have power lines going through them—the big ones, you know? Those are definitely out. Ugh.

Half are about an hour or so from STL, the rest are more like two, at least.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!

 

Now for the challenge: September is Preparedness Month. A site I follow, Prepared Bloggers, has a new “challenge” every day for the entire month to help YOU get prepared for . . . whatever happens. SHTF, zombies, earthquakes, EMP, pretty much anything.

So take a look, okay?

Beginning on September 1, so far there’s been organization, meeting place, communication, fire escape, pets, exercises, and mental prepping. Good stuff.

Take the challenge! We are . . .

 

RHP—Bogeyman 101


Calling all middle-graders! Here is your definitive guide to the monster under your bed—or in your closet!

 

Shh! The bogeyman is here! You’d run if you could, but you can’t. You’re curled into a ball, hiding under the covers. Should you scream? Faint? Hold your breath and pretend to be dead?

Nope.

Take a peek at the creature. Does he have one head or thirteen? Is he as tall as a tree? Does he have flippers pointing the wrong way?

Grab your copy of Bogeyman 101 and burrow back under the covers. Click on your flashlight. Flip to the chapter that describes the monster. Find his weaknesses and fight back!

Written by Karen Hokanson Miller, author of Monsters and Water Beasts, this is a handy book to keep on your nightstand. Just in case . . .

And you can get it here, at Rocking Horse Publishing, or in bookstores everywhere!
