grandma's old fashion soap



old fashions soap like grandma used to make. i'm not sure is my grand mother made her own soap but i am sure that my grandma durfee did. grandma and grandpa durfee were the ultimate homesteaders. i remember a vast garden, with the biggest pear tree right in the middle of it, and chickens. as a child i loved that place, i think because it was so much different then what was "normal" for me at my house. still somehow i knew that it made more sense to me even way back then. even if i didn't fully under stand what was going on.

we always went there for all the holidays. and everything there just felt right.
