Natural Gran's Blog

I think life was a lot simpler when I was a child-- I am not Granny Moses, but I did spend some of my childhood in a log farmhouse with no TV and-- gak!-- no electricity or running water. We ate out a whole lot less, read a whole lot more, and spent much time in the great outdoors. I don't want to give up ALL my 21st Century comforts, but I would like my grandkids to have a bit of a road map that I, their Natural Gran, staked out for them-- a path that they can follow to a more natural lifestyle that just might be healthier and happier than what the "unnatural" world offers. I'm on that path myself, trying to reclaim some of the good stuff from my more natural past... you're invited along too.
