Wives & Daughters chapter 2, Flour Sacks, Keepers at Home, & More



I hope you are making the best of your circumstances today.

This room, where I sat while I spoke today,  is patiently waiting for the next eager visit.

It is lovely to have you visit today. 





 Below is a sample from some of the things I've saved on my Pinterest Collection. Please go to My Pinterest and see some of the delightful things. 
This reads:
I will never forget when my
grandfather said to me:
"Our life was tiring for the body,
but it was comfortable for the soul.
Your life today is comfortable for the
body but it is tiring for the soul."

Other Pinterest Accounts you can't live without:

 
The above site will keep your interest for quite a while. I like the watercolor illustrations and the beautiful life portrayed for the homemaker.

I read and analyzed more of the beginning of the book "Wives and Daughters" by Elizabeth Gaskell.  This everyday story brings out some of the character qualities that every generation has to deal with. Tact, the art of being careful not to be too blunt or to insinuate, is one of them.

I create these lessons for my descendants and I'm making it available to you, to inspire and edify. My broadcasts are designed to listen while you rest or work in your house. I hope you find something that will benefit you today.

  2. Hello again. My mom was part of County Extension. I think it was an extension of the state college and offices were in each county.
    Monthly meetings were held and women were taught many skills.
    She was also a 4-h leader for many years..

  3. I am curious what your thoughts are for young women who have no desire for marriage?

  4. You have packed so much excellent food for thought in your video again. I often have to go to YouTube and follow the transcript in order not to miss anything. Fortunately it is possible to scroll the transcript without playing the video and having to watch the ads.

  5. I thought you might like The Flower Letters. It's a subscription that sends you letters twice a month for 12 months. One story is about the Jane Austin time period. It's a story told through letters and photos of that time period. A correspondance between the two characters in the story.I'm reading the Clara Lilly letters. I love your broadcast ❤️

  7. Dear Lydia Ruth,

    Thank you for this excellent video; especially the second half addressing the keeper at home. What a crucial role she plays in the stability of the family and home. She is the virtuous woman and, I might add, who can find her? Well, I am so grateful I have found you and these broadcasts 😊It is vitally important for all the generations to come to hear these words of wisdom. Please keep shouting this message from the housetop! I admire your devotion to this wonderful life God has called us to fulfill!

    God bless,
    ❤️Holly
