Today's fog view produced this vivid sunset:
I am so happy you came to visit today and I hope it is edifying!! I've very encouraged when you listen and leave your thoughts in a comment here.
I ordered some paper teacups with handles from the web and
was so pleased with them. They held the hot water and had nice handles.
I sent my visitors off with a tray ala Lady Harriot in her carriage. Affectionate devotees of Wives and Daughters will remember that scene of someone serving her a refreshment on a tray through the window of her carriage. I got a kick out of reenacting that scene with hot tea, using these paper cups:
I shared from my recent Eric Sloane book the origin of the dollar sign.
I also did a brief review of a girls activity book. There is a boys book like this you can order, and there are several publishers with different covers.
I always suggest that older women read and do the activities in these books, because they benefit greatly from doing the things they were not given the opportunity to do when they were growing up. Also, its very edifying and restoring to do everything you want your own children to do.
You could get a scrapbook or journal book and paste in all the handicrafts shown in this book. I am planning to do this, myself.
I made this video for my laid-up, shut-in friends who are recovering from illness and not getting around much. If you are one of them, this is a good time to get re-acquainted with the video version of Wives and Daughters. You can watch it free on Dailymotion.com
You can also order a dvd set for yourself online.
Please enjoy being home while you listen:
