My Gramma's Medicine

After a casual trip to the doctor for a regular check up, I have gotten tonsilitis.

About this Blog

In the crush of modern time and its hurry and and wait pace, this blog is about all the things that I enjoy that are "old fashioned", a little out there, a little modern hippie dippie. Its a little environmentalist, a little good old fashioned house wife wisdom taught to me as a child mixed with all the things that fascinate my mind, hands and soul.
