Ya, I'm the oldest grand and was the oldest great grand for her parents. Prolly why I know how to sew and quilt and cook with limited ingredients and change a tire and build a fire and whatnot.

In the modern world someone having a room dedicated to sewing is unheard of. My Grandmother had a "spare bedroom" that was technically that because there was a bed but she made clothes for us. It wasn't unusual for her to spend 6-8 hours a day in there just making shit. "Hey Nana, my pants ripped" WHAM. 10 minutes they're good as new and the part she repaired will outlast the rest of the pants

Old cast iron is a treasure. Its one of those things you hold and there is a physical connection to your ancestors. "This skillet fed three or four generations of my family and never wore out"
