True dat. As I have decided to resign from the frontlines of the fight, to take my experience and knowledge to advise and consult, I am building a website. One of the goals is to share the country wisdom that my grandparents taught me. The section is going to be called "Nana Taught Me How". True Story ~ This year marks the end of my 4th decade as an adult. I left home at 17 for college and never went back home. I was a homeowner at 20, having taken over my great-grandmother's home, which was where my family landed in 1929 at the start of the Great Depression and when the boll weevil hit the agricultural areas of the SE. I know how to stretch a food budget, build up a pantry, sew, mend and construct garments, knit, crochet, embroider, maintain a car, create and maintain a budget... Just so many things. Now at 57, I want to share enough to get people started. My own kids and some of my nieces and nephews are taken care of. I want to be "mama" to others, who are not so blessed and do not have my privileges.As we say, "each one teach one".
