dabbe It would explain a LOT if Mrs. Mullins turned out to be the narrator. 🤩 4mo
mcctrish @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣 4mo
mcctrish I did think it was so sweet they shared cuttings of their plants 💚💚💚 4mo
willaful I was struck by how the belongings of the older folks were disregarded, because I've seen the exact same thing happen... my husband's mom spent years preserving furniture and antiques that are family history and now she's gone, absolutely nobody wants them or has room for them. :-( 4mo
Ruthiella @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣 4mo
Ruthiella @willaful There‘s a lot in here that is repeated from new generation to new generation and it‘s only by reading that we understand this. I was thinking about how probably the worst factory made furniture of the 50s is still better than throw away IKEA furniture of today. (edited) 4mo
Ruthiella Did anyone notice that “wide mouths, high cheek bones and snub noses” were not considered “feminine good looks”? How our beauty standards have changed. 4mo
Cuilin I love the phrase rheumaticky limbs and will be using it from now on. 4mo
Bookwormjillk I loved this chapter but kept falling asleep. This book is too soothing. Tomorrow (today now) I need to read in the morning. Uncle Rubey is a boobie! 4mo
Bklover I love the inscriptions on the insides of the book covers. Kind of a fun idea! 4mo
willaful @mcctrish perhaps especially the pennyroyal?! Interesting to come across a reference to that. 4mo
julieclair Reading through these comments makes me realize there was a lot to think about in this chapter. More than I realized when I was reading it 4mo
