You found this blog fast!<BR/><BR/>I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to learn a lot of these skills when I was young. In this world of fast food and such busyness, it is easy to overlook the basics and realize that things don't have to be this way. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to plant a garden, but because we rent we aren't able to do so. I am planning on starting a back patio herb garden soon, though.<BR/><BR/>Carpentry was one thing that I never learned - but really wish I did. When I moved to Florida I took a woodworking class through the adult education program at the local high schools and loved it. Some day I wish I could learn more - just don't have the equipment to do so.<BR/><BR/>Karin<BR/><BR/>OctoberKarinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11143791997009149930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003899116561483617.post-65845075140423297632008-10-19T12:05:00.000-07:002008-10-19T12:05:00.000-07:00Hey, I'm the first to comment on your blog! It sounds like you had a really neat childhood...one which I wish I had. I wish I knew how to do all that stuff. We did have a small garden when I was a kid, my mom taught me to live frugally, and my dad taught me a lot of common sense skills and basic carpentry and other things which I am very thankful for. <BR/><BR/>I hope to one day be able to raise my kids in an environment somewhat like yours as a kid. It's hard because I don't know how, but I want to. Hopefully one day we can get a house with a lot of land and have gardens and all that. That would be so neat! I look forward to hearing your frugal tips and ideas. God bless!Our familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06743852802989364988noreply@blogger.com
