Hey, Little Sister. I’m with you on the book matter….I simply love books! And, over the years I’ve had to let many go as I’ve moved but I still have a small library of books that have had major influence in my life. I’m beginning to send copies of my favorite books to my sons so they will have a sense of what was important to me in my life. And, perhaps they too will find value in them as well.
For example, sent my #3 son a copy of one of my favorite books today. Adventures in Contentment by David Grayson. First published in 1907 but so relevant to today. My son just turned 50, has been extremely successful in his career but is showing signs of looking for a simpler life. He’s been planting fruit trees on some farm property he owns and last year he had a fairly large garden. I think the outdoor work provides some relief from stress.
I ordered the jar seal thingy for my Food Saver today. I’m not sure I clearly understand this whole dehydrating activity and how best to save what I dehydrate but research and experience should prove valuable. And, I began writing down what I have in my pantry so I can get a better sense of what I need.
I’m so grateful for getting involved with these challenges. I’m really enjoying reading everyone’s posts.
