When I was a kid being raised by my grandparents I LOVED my veggies cause it was all the food I got in most cases. The Fry bread I still cook but now I get to eat it with other things other than just ketchup. I miss canned food in mason jars adn going out to pick poke salet. I kinda miss driving to town with my grandfather to the dump to collect scrap iron to reseel at the scrap yard so we could eat. I remember getting the croop when i was 5 and looking at the iciles on the walls in our trailer and my maw maws stew got me well, good thing we couldnt afford docters. I remember going to the dentist in a trailer down a dirt road while he pulled my teeth he drank wild turkey adn watched gilligans island on a old 9 inch black and white...
Do I miss it YES I DO!!! lol

Ahh thats really a sweet story, hardships are never bad for us, they make us who we are today, reading between the lines, sounds like you were very loved, and you remember the love more then then hardships.. grandparents can be our best parents ,when they are needed. I think you turned out Ok
Today I saw elephants in tiaras eating spagetti o's from a bowler hat as they sat on multicolored volks wagon beetles that were parked upside down in a mountian stream!
