  1. What an inspirational story! It must have been rough for her, but she sounds like a woman with a tremendous amount of courage and grit.

  2. Hi Jane,
    Yes, it’s good to know how to survive. I was just outside bringing in wood for the weekend. We heat our upstairs with wood each winter. I just noticed that our side door could use some weather stripping!

    Always something to do.

    Keep Warm!

  3. I just emailed you the story of my Mother. I am very sensitive right now as we don’t know how much more time she has with us. I will say I learned to survive from her. My daughters have carried on that survival instinct too. My youngest helps her partner to cut wood and they have wood heat. At least they didn’t freeze while I was. My oldest learned to survive while she was finding herself as she put it. But I have raised two strong women to carry on the Portwood tradition of survival.
    I think as times get tougher at least my kids know how to survive as do I.
