Summary

Hey, y'all! Join me for episode 39 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. This is a very special episode, as I have Miah’s Nana with us today. We actually recorded this in December 2022, and I thought I had lost the audio files. You’ll never know how thankful I was when I came across it the other day, and I know many of you have been looking forward to listening to this episode as much as I have been to share it.

Join me and Nana as we discuss what it was like for her growing up in Newfoundland vs. what it’s like for today's generation (spoiler alert, it's MUCH different than we're used to).

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast.
0:07.0	I'm your host, Jessica Sowers.

0:11.6	And today I have a very special guest here on the farm.
0:16.0	I have Maya's Nana, Helen, who I have asked to be on the podcast. And she's maybe a little bit hesitant
0:28.3	to do that, but she has so much great wisdom to share, I think, and just really cool stories.
0:37.6	So this morning, we were talking.
0:40.6	First, Nana, do you want to say hi?
0:42.4	Hi.
0:44.2	She's going to, we're going to chat.
0:46.0	I assured her it's just going to be much like a chat.
0:48.6	We've got our tea here.
0:51.0	And this morning we were talking about rhubarb.
0:59.0	And I have rhubarb in my garden for Nana because I remember her telling me a story about growing up and her childhood in Newfoundland,
1:05.2	which she grew up on a farm in Newfoundland. Her father was a farmer and while she, you know, she was telling me this morning
1:13.0	that she didn't really like necessarily hands on do all of the farming. This was her whole childhood.
1:18.0	And I think you remember the world being very different than it is now. Is that true, Nana?
1:23.3	Mm-hmm. Yes. Definitely very different. So whenever you were a kid, food was not,
1:29.6	you didn't just run to the grocery store
1:30.9	and buy all the food that you needed.
1:32.5	We didn't have a grocery store.
1:34.4	Yeah.
