My "Mother" Nature

I'm having another birthday.  It happens every year.  I don't mind.  I sure don't feel as old as I'm told I am.  But there are the telltale signs.  No I won't go into it right now.


My parents are real supportive when it comes to the "back to basics" stuff.  My mom was probably one of the originals.  She raised us to eat as healthy and as natural as possible.  She was always trying something new.  Making butter, cheese, bread.  And her gardens always put mine to shame.   Anyways, her and Dad got me a wonderful birthday gift.  A flour grinder.  How cool is that?  I've been buying all of my whole wheat flour, but it's not as finely ground as I'd like it.  Now I can do it myself.  My parents are pretty cool.

You got to grow up having some of the experiences that the rest of us just read about.... And now you get to share your experience with others. Pretty neat huh?

That is so neat...I have been looking into buying a grinder, but I have no experience and am going about it blindly.


Have a great day,
