  My grandmothers knew all of the tricks for stretching a tiny bit of food a long, long way. They had grown up as homesteaders and were mothers with families to feed during the Depression.
  A few years before she died, one grandmother predicted that all of that accumulated knowledge would be lost before it would be needed again. But she was certain that during my lifetime, people — maybe even her grandchildren and great-grandchildren — would once again need to know the secrets of the pr

  08-11-2017 22:15 via vancouversun.com
  On Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m., the Armistice of Compiègne went into effect, ending hostilities between the Allies and Germany — and marking the end of the First World War, then known as the war to end wars.
