Thank you @crescendoofpeace for your very interesting and detailed comment. Only one of my grandparents was still living when I was growing up, and I didn't get to see her very often, due to the distance. But I remember she was very self-sufficient, a great gardener, an accomplished seamstress, and fond of scrounging the dump for things she could take home and fix and use. (Back in the days when a person could do that!) My father was born in 1909 and died in 2008. He farmed with horses in his youth, and lived to see rockets to the moon. He knew what life was like without a telephone, and with a cell phone. Such changes to experience!
