Back in the 60's just before my senior yr my counselor calls me into his office and tells me I have to take home ec 12x in order to graduate from high school. I thought this was a joke. No joke first semester cooking second semester sewing.I had not taken any home ec courses in jr or hs.I wasn't going to college to get an MRS degree I told my counselor. Didn't work. My mom taught me everything,sewing,quilting,knitting,crochet,cannin g,cooking,baking.The best teacher I ever had. Thanks MOM
