Homestead mailing list

["Bonnie Shaw" <Bonnie4319 AT hughes.net>]

I have enjoyed reading and getting to know some of you a bit before I joined 
in.  the post about freecycle got me moving.  I belong to 5 counties in 
NE Tenn.  "What is this broads problem, indeed?"
If I had not posted wanted lists for areas within a hundred miles, I would 
not have found my hot tub, or the 105 vintage glass block to recycle into my 
new bathroom.  At todays prices that would be $600.00 for new ones; but these 
have a pattern that makes a sort of kaleidoscope effect. Awesome!  that lady 
who doesn't want you to join, does not realize that you may have things to 
help others.  That's the whole point!
We are homesteaders in a way.  I just had to retire
from the town job to take more intensive care of my 83 yr. aunt who lives 
with me. Heart, lung,dementia, Alzheimer's.  We have small livestock, large 
garden, greenhouse under construction, and boarding kennel and grooming 
business to hopefully launch by September.  That way I can stay home and make 
a go of things. My
husband is not in the best of health right now, so I
try to keep plans for the future in motion so we can 
be as secure as possible.
I subscribed to Mother Earth News when it started, and have my many years 
worth still with me.  I am so enjoying listening to this group.  It brings 
back 
many memories.    Bonnie

perhaps you could set up your own freecycle group ..
and include the control freaks area.
