Much more tolerant and less materialistic than we old hippies ever pretended to be. Of course, I'm in la-di-dah Portland.

Just In Time delivery, Franken Foods, drive through meals and other forms of instant gratification will be a thing of the past - as they should have been a long time ago.<br /><br />I'm so thankful I like beans, rice and homemade noodles and have heirloom seeds stored.treesonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364847483878018809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24855322.post-64669788344761250992011-04-24T18:41:55.622-07:002011-04-24T18:41:55.622-07:00Yeah, this current batch of kids are screwed.

Much better for us, the environment and they cost a tiny fraction of what commercial supplies cost. We're also doing things like combining trips (no more unnecessary driving, not that we've done that in a long time anyway) and I'm hanging things on the line instead of using the clothes dryer.<br /><br />Hard times can definitely bring out the resourcefulness in a person.<br /><br />Now I have to go wash out some Ziploc bags!lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.com
