Jeanie Lawson, KY ” I feel very blessed that a friend introduced me to a wonderful 88 yr old woman who has lived “off the grid” since 1960. She lives in an old log home her father built 83 years ago. There is not any electricity or running water. She has a cellar for her fridge. The front door was homemade and she re-did the chinking on the logs herself. Her bathroom is outside on the hill and family ran water from a spring to her tub which she proudly showed me. She cooks on a wood stove and served me sassafras tree she made from the mountains. (Very good) she gave me a bar of her lye soap she made and showed me how she makes dish soap from wood ash and water, also good for cleaning dogs. She washes clothes in an old tin tub. She made. Church in her barn and she goes there often to lie down. The pews were homemade. Her 60+ yr old brother died this week and she showed me pictures of him. The coroner came and pronounced him and family made the casket and washed and clothed him, no funeral home ow embalming. This is a woman who is happy and feels so blessed. She does not live off the system whatsoever and draws no food stamps or social security.”

Where she makes soap for her kitchen and to clean the dogs with…made from wood ash and water.
“Quaint little church that she had put in her barn. Homemade benches came from an area church, they were made by a relative. She goes here to rest and reflect.” “In all my 60 yrs I have never been so in awe as well as impressed with a person’s independence and faith. Bless this sweet lady and may I learn and remember how to feel thankful and blessed as this sweet woman is.” says Jeanie Lawson
