Name a skill your parents taught you?

[marthachick]

My parents taught me life skills. They taught me about Jesus and how to pray. Cooking, cleaning, sewing, how to stretch a dollar, some basic maintenance, how to build a fence, drive a tractor, garden and so many things that I could never name them all.

Same here,,only it was my Mother and grandmother---and you forgot duct tape in the last line, lol!

I grew up on a farm in a remote rural area - duct tape was for city folks. I have since discovered it's many charms, though.
