Shandy Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've been reading for a few weeks now, and enjoying the boards on this forum. I'm a stay at home mom, getting close to finishing up my first half-century. We have 8 children, 7 still at home. Our oldest is married with 4 children of his own. We live on one acre in a semi-rural area. My husband and I were both raised in lower middle class families who taught us gardening, farming, dairy, and animal skills. Between us, we have a good bit of knowledge, but dropped a lot of it while we were younger and attending college and building "the good life". After our 4th child was born, we decided we'd better get serious, and started resurrecting and using the knowledge our parents had passed on to us. We've forgotten quite a bit, but have shored up our skills in the last 15 years. While both of us are wildly patriotic, neither of us depends on our gov't to make good decisions for us. Not at this point. So we are continuing to stock up on both goods and skills. If nothing else, we can pass on to our children what our parents gave us, and I'm sure that will serve them well.
