I have been reading Love Comes Softly series and I absolutely love them. I am on book three. It is a christian based books about life in the pioneer days. I honestly could not have lived back then. No air conditioning, no inside toliet, not being able to shower on a daily basis, and bugs yuck. I know if I had to live back then I could do it cause that would be the only way I would not how to live. It is crazy to think back to that time period. They had nothing but the clothes on their backs. They had to make their own clothes, curtains, rugs, and bedding. I know I deffiently take for granted the things I have today. I often wonder if it was a simpler time back then or was it difficult like it is today. Sometimes I wonder how in the world are we gonna make it but somehow we do. We do with out a lot of the time but we are happy and Sofi Clair is heathly and that is all I can ask for.
I love to watch the Walton's. It would have loved to have lived back then. It seems that it was all about family. It is not like that so much anymore. My husband always jokes me and says I should have been a 1940's-1950's housewife. I love the idea of staying home with the kids and having supper on the table when my husband walks thru the door. In my perfect world I would be Olivia Walton. She is the kind of mother I have always dreamed about being. Even though she is a character in a show I look up to her. She is kind, loving, caring, and good christian woman. She takes care of the house, the kids, and her husband and she does not complain one bit. I may be a dreamer in many ways, but I still hope for my perfect world one day.
I agree. I could never live back then. I am glad that we have all the necessities that we need now.
ReplyDeleteI love the part about how close families used to be, but I don't think I could be a stay at home mom. I love being close with the family and have family gatherings!!
DeleteI liked it back then. There were lot less worries than there are now. Great Blog!
ReplyDeleteWow, I dont believe I could have lived back in the 40's neither...but I love the idea of being a stay at home mother and having supper prepared when the hubby gets home...
ReplyDeleteYou are a dedicated wife... your blog was written just as I prefer them to be, concise. Good Job.
ReplyDeleteGood night John-boy. ha ha ha I loved that TV show when I was growing up. And Olivia Walton was a great example of a strong, yet gentle mother.
