When we get back up to the mountain we are going to start stocking up on food, and I am going to learn to can the food we grow. This situation is crazy. I want to be as self sufficient as possible and learn to live on one salary so I can stay home and take care of my garden and my home and my family.<<<

An excellent plan and one that I have pushed for 40 years, as you never know when a partner will get sick, and not be able to work.

Bill came home in the middle of the morning, said “will you take me to the hospital, I think I am having a heart attack”.

He was and it was two years before he could do light work.

Were you prepared at that point, Granny, or did you have to learn?
