Why Would Granny Blog?

After deciding that I wanted to write about frugality and home made goods,  I thought, "my Grandmother could have written this way better than I will."  Then it occurred to me, I need to give credit where credit is due.  I wouldn't know most of my time and money saving tricks if my Mother hadn't passed them down from HER Mother, who, of course, had received the guidance from her elders.  I am not leaving Grandpa out of the fun either - I plan to ask as many folks as possible how they save their precious time, money and sanity and then report their answers here.

It's important to ask questions to our elders now, as this opportunity to learn from the survivors of our last financial depression will not last.  We are losing the generations who taught our parents the importance of awareness.  We are also beginning to lose touch with the true trials and tribulations of producing food year round with sustainable practices.  We are beginning to see that the past century of newfangled farm technique is not proving to support our peoples or ecosystems, and we are starting to understand that Grandma and Grandpa had it figured out.

Please join me by commenting with a question or interview topic if you ever feel compelled.  I have a growing list of inquiries which includes topics like home cleaning recipes and natural hygiene solutions, as well as traditional food preservation and seasonal meals.  I look forward to interviewing and meeting the fine folks who work to keep simple and efficient practices alive.  Thank you for taking a few minutes to read about my humble brainstorm for a blog!
