Great little book. Lots and lots of questions that stir memories. My mother-in-law (almost 90) is bed-ridden and I used many of the questions to stimulate her thinking as well as record vignettes for her personal history. We didn't have a lot to talk about, were rehashing the same things, same worries and complaints, same stories, until I got the book. With the questions, she's been prompted to share many things that we never knew about her childhood. She's enjoyed the little walks down memory lane. The evening questions gave her something to look forward to and something positive to reflect on. We've laughed and shed tears over her wonderful memories--that she may not have ever thought to share had I not come across this book.
Good place to start reading about raising your own chickens at home. So much to know; the book covers a lot! Obviously there's a lot more reading that must be done in order to be successful at this endeavor.
Some interesting ideas of things to make, but for the real beginner...It just doesn't work (at least the knitting portion). I tried (and I'm not an idiot or uncoordinated) but trying to learn how to knit from just this book was a joke. Stuck the needles back in the ball of yarn and it is now a fireplace decoration!
