Today was a corker. Dennis had his Korean Veterans Luncheon today in Mankato. I took advantage of riding along to visit the Hy-Vee grocery store. It must be this time of the year: I feel the need to add a few items for the basement pantry. No longer do I do the “home canning,” but it feels good to have some backup on the shelves in the basement pantry. It’s that instinct from days of old: winter is coming, stock up.
