Oh girl, I'm so sorry your broke your tail bone, I did that close to 40 years ago, and it caused a hematoma at the base of my spine, oh my that hurt!!! Dr wouldn't let me sit down for two weeks, only lay down or stand up and the next two weeks I could only sit if I had that donut thing. So not fun!!! A little be of arthritis now, something new you can experience down there :P.
I got to spend summers with my grand parents (who also lived during the depression) several times and loved every min of it. I'm so glad you got to experience that. My grandmas taught me how to make gravy and I loved going to the grocery store with her and helping her put the "green stamps" in the booklet. My grandpa took us kids out fishing and dove hunting and would make us pop corn at night. So much fun, I miss them so much. Grandparents are awesome because they made their mistakes with their children and have worn off the ruff spots on their parenting and are gentler with experience and time :). Loved my kids but they drove me crazy, but I enjoy my grand children so much!!!
Your pickles look really good, it's awesome to do things your grandmother taught you to bring back all those memories :).
It occurred to me when I was reading about your grandparents preparing for winter, that I would have no idea what I'd need. I buy when I'm running low on things. I'll bet grandma knew exactly what she'd need to make it through.

Naughty sheep, no cookies for you tonight!!!
Sorry hear you broke your butt too! This is my second go round with it. Did it about 20 years ago. Guess I was due!
How neat you got to do many of the same things a with your grands! I wish I could show all this to my granddaughter but she is too far away.
Thank you for the compliment. They taste so much better than the store ones, plus I know what is actually in them!!!

She had it down to a science with enough of a buffer in case something went sideways.
Sweet memories! Sounds as though the sheep are acting like teenagers! Just sayin'
Love you
Yeah they are. Love you
Those rascally sheep!!! Maybe tell them that if they keep this up they only get pickles instead of cookies?
I suspect that will put the fear of the Gods into them!!
