While growing up, we had a very large and close knit family, which included several generations. I spent a lot of time with some very special members of my family, that were of the older generations. I was always very intrigued with many  of the things that they did and the skills that they had, and I was hungry to learn. They taught me many of their skills and ways, and I have held on to them endearingly. During the Covid scare and lockdowns, I was greatly appreciative, that I had learned many of those skills, but realized that I wanted, and needed, to learn even more.  Because of the supply shortages, and the difficulty that the Covid illness and the lockdowns created, I realized that it was important to continue to learn even more healthier, and self sufficient ways of living than what I already knew. With plenty of time on my hands, created by the lockdowns, I started researching, and the more that I researched, the more things that I found, that I wanted to learn and change. I have found that many people were quite intrigued with what I was doing and why, and how, so I have decided to start sharing some of that information here on this website. Just simply click on the links in the "Health & Home" dropdown box, to take you to the things that you would like to see. I will be continually adding more information and ideas, as time goes on. I hope you enjoy!
