(Video) Girls at Home 4

We are still fogged-in and enjoying being more confined and getting some unfinished things completed. I've had this sewing project here for a few days and looking forward to completing it. 

I also enjoyed an old issue of Victoria magazine, with the theme:

"The Pure Joy of Being Home".

Poetry reading from this episode:

The Younger Generation

by Edgar A. Guest

1881-1959

This younger generation seems

To mock at all our preaching;

To want to build its house of dreams

Without our wiser teaching.

It looks at us with cool disdain

And scorns the hints we're giving.

We've lived, of course, but all in vain;

What do WE know of living?

We are the kill-joys of the place

Who cry: "Beware of strangers.

Sin lurks behind the smiling face.

The streets are full of dangers."

So, poor old fogies that we are,

We sit with fingers drumming,

The pale, despairing Pa and Ma

Who dread what next is coming,

Ah, well! one time at counsel wise

WE sneered in youth's elation;

WE scorned the old who would advise

To seek our own salvation.

So why should we grow sorely vexed,

Or trouble seek to borrow?

THEY'LL be the kill-joys of the next

Glad age which starts tomorrow.

The good advice they're heading not

THEY'LL soon be giving,

And hear THEIR children wonder what

THEY know of life and living!

I do plan on moving on to another subject series and I hope in the meantime there is something in this broadcast for you to absorb, no matter what your family situation. This is addressed to girls in the home, encouraging them to be home-based.
