A lot of you would classify indoor plumbing, central heat, grocery money and gasoline as ‘needs’ But wait, are they really always needs? Secondary needs are shelter, a way to keep warm and a band of brothers to hang with for protection. Absolutely not! My Grandmother was born in 1898. She lived on a farm. What is a need?

Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. Kids did chores and not all of them were ‘safe’ My brother mowed the lawn with a homemade electric lawnmower. Most of us did not have air conditioned homes.
