And how did you like that cryp...You are welcome. <br /><br />And how did you like that cryptic little sentence about family planning. They didn't want to have any more children right away, but they got the timing wrong when it came to good information about birth control. So sad. And Wyora using the word ... "they got caught". So painful to observe sexuality in those terms. Ouch to living in those times when information came in such a way as to be useless.<br /><br />Well, lucky us. All of that caught in just a few paragraphs.Arta Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329194629476229822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-23797835078123317452015-03-09T21:54:16.078-06:002015-03-09T21:54:16.078-06:00thanks for both her words and the followup comment...thanks for both her words and the followup comments<br />Rebecca Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835541074766008269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-2293993062076279522015-03-09T21:36:35.406-06:002015-03-09T21:36:35.406-06:00I haven't read Wyora's words for a long ti...I haven't read Wyora's words for a long time. When she was dying, I would go into her room and type for her and she would tell story after story. It would be lovely if we had edited it. On the other hand, just catching what she had to say was a treasure. Imagine having the memory of playing in ditches and the broken glass in them would cut your feet Of course, I have been thinking about Blanche and her staying in a room for 3 months, trying to recover from the birth of a baby. The letters go on to say that a private nurse was hired and stayed with her all of that time. Now, if I was sitting there typing, I would be asking Wyora to tell me more. What kind of private nursing services would have been available then? And we get the piece that the children were only allowed in the room a few times in 3 months.<br /><br />Maybe the next time I see children making mud pies, I will be less worried about the mud on their dresses and I will also be hopeful that the mud pies will be memories they will cherish, as is the case in that little vignette.Arta Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329194629476229822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-23681438055686810522015-03-09T18:41:11.357-06:002015-03-09T18:41:11.357-06:00I too remembered Mother on this day.
