Assa, I heard through the grapevine that you make and use your own laundry detergent. Is this true and if so would you mind sharing your recipe?

This makes a big batch. You can half everything and make a smaller batch.
2 Cups Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda
2 Cups Borax
1 Cup Arm & Hammer Baking Soda, optional
1 bar Fels-Naptha, finely grated
Use 1 – 2 Tablespoons per load. Regular wash or small load: 1 Tbls. Heavily Soiled clothes or large load: 2 Tbls

He had a mower he had to turn zero times and a power splitting axe as long as he had you two.

That was the truth. Their yard consists of about 2 acres that is kept as a yard. In 1990, when they moved to where they currently live, he was a young nco and had just bought a house. So me and my brother would wind up pushing mowing around 1.5 to 2 acres at the ripe old age of 10 to 12. He called it character building.
