I take spells of liking to crochet, but it hurts my hand after a bit, and then I am on to something else. Your comments on frugality reminds me of a worry I have. My children, and most of thier friends, don't seem to know the meaning of the word. I can't imagine how they will survive if they actually had to fend for themselves. None of them know how to sew or quilt or put up a quart of green beans or milk a cow. When I tell them they should learn how to do some of these things they say "oh, grandma". God help them if Wal-mart shuts down.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11127229509772208186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14458986.post-61369820368164870652009-04-04T08:35:00.000-05:002009-04-04T08:35:00.000-05:00Finn I am SO enjoying your Frugal Friday posts.
