I am not quite 70 and in the 60's my neighbors thought I was a hippie. == long hair, artist, sandles. I also did then and still do make everything from scratch, veg in season, etc. Now, of my 6 kids, a couple follow in my footsteps, a couple sound like your speaker and a couple are in between. Funny how your habits rub off. I have sent your letter to the 'hippie' kids. Love it.
