No one could make tables and charts on the typewriter better than me.

The typing skills are priceless, thankfully typing was required in HS...Sister Evangelina did not let you out of class until we could type with our eyes closed.

She follows me around, but isn't a fan of traveling in the car. Sadie's more a "stay at home" kind of gal. Not a mother myself (except to Sadie), but I was a born in January in the late 40s. The image that comes to mind is my mom dealing with cloth diapers in the winter without the luxury of a dryer. Not a pleasant thought! ;-(<br />What am I looking forward to ~ meeting a sweet friend for coffee on Saturday morning. <br />Safe travels!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-52763157653218860412016-05-04T06:54:56.526-07:002016-05-04T06:54:56.526-07:00Yeah, we have been dealing with the rain all week ...Yeah, we have been dealing with the rain all week too.

My day yesterday started out typically and ended with a big surprise when I discovered that my great grandfather (of whom we knew NOTHING!) was in an asylum for at least 13 years before he died -- maybe more. (Maybe it SHOULDN'T have been such a surprise!). I'm most anticipating this month's make-and-take tea where we're going to make magnificent silk scarves and then gorge out on a full English tea! Which means I'd better start making tea treats soon!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-83825272398676151142016-05-04T05:44:24.038-07:002016-05-04T05:44:24.038-07:00I have never even heard of "The Family"....I have never even heard of "The Family".
