Hooray for Woodstock!

So I kind of do the Facebook thing and had a little time to kill so I did one of those crazy quiz type things that give you some insight as to what you are all about and surprise I most identify with the 60's. My formative years were during the 70's but I had always wished I grew up in the 60's.I loved the idea of being a full out hippie living off the land, growing my own food, exchanging chores with others and teaching my kids through life experience rather than in a formal classroom.

Well, what the hell was I thinking? There are pieces of my life that are 60's ish, I had my kids at home, I didn't know you could buy spaghetti sauce in a jar (thank you co-op moms), I ground wheat for my homemade bread...entertained homeschooling for about 5 minutes. But I am not cut out for all the hard work that would entail real communal living, I don't like dirt, I love my kids but need me time. The crafts that I have always pursued have always given me the time that I need to recharge and reenergize my soul.

I love all the music from the 60's and the idea that we should all get together and love one another right now, but there is nothing like scoring the cutest shoes ever at Nordstrom rack!
