Greetings precious home dwellers and those who strive to be.
Before you hear the homemaker's edifying talk on the video at the end of the page, here are a few images from The Manse:
Of course you all have seen my personal Pemberley reflection. Each year when the rain season gives me a lake, I get a humorous delight in taking this picture.
(Above: the real Pemberley from the 1995 movie "Pride and Prejudice")

and showed you the sketch for the newsletter I made for someone:
I spoke of a letter Jane had written to Cassandra, thanking her for the invitation to visit, but explaining. "...You see, I never go out," which seems very appealing to me sometimes.
In the Eric Sloane history book I read about the reasons our great grandparents attended worship being much different than today. They attended because they were grateful and they enjoying the discipling (teaching) . Even if they could not read well, they wanted to hear the Word being taught.
Today's scene from my front porch:
Other things in this video:
Wake up with gratefulness for something.
Appreciating hot water.
Humming, rocking, walking.
Skin care (sunscreen?)
Approaching homemaking with a good attitude
Shopping for bargains as an interest and a service to the family
Tiny houses for old folks--do we need to go smaller or larger?
"Narcissism" in the home--its nothing new: its the same old thing mentioned in the Bible and in many old books with "characters."
Much more.
I base a lot of my content on your suggestions. I appreciate any ideas you have for subjects to speak about.
Please enjoy your home while you listen:
