My oldest daughter walked out to the barn and watched me cut wood with the table saw. When I shut off the saw, and took my safety glasses off, she stood staring at me.
"Yeah, what do you need?" I asked her.
"Uh, Mom? So you can shoot a shot gun and use the saw? Should we be worried?" she asked with her eye brows going up.
"Eat it up,
Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or go without."

New Discovery!
For years, my husband has had to take over the counter medication for stomach problems (heart burn etc.). Guess what?!
After finally getting to the point where processed foods have been weeded out of our diet (we need to do a bit more weeding), we made a discovery.
We had continued to buy canned tomato sauce from the store for many recipes. However, now that I have been using my homemade sauce, with chemical free tomatoes, hubby doesn't get heart burn after a meal.
Imagine these medication businesses going out of business if more people made their complete diet without processed foods.
The medication he used to take was not cheap either. I had no idea that canning my own food would bring us more benefits than it already has.
I just had to share.
