...Grandma always said; "You never know when hard times will come again, so it pays to be ready". She drilled that into my head and I never forgot it.
My parents lived through the Great Depression, and my great grandmother lived through more depressions and "panics" than she could count (as well as the Spanish Flu epidemic). We were far from wealthy, but we
always had a full pantry. One of my earliest memories was helping my mother and great grandmother can green beans. I was only about three or so, so I doubt I was really that much help, but I still remember it.
