I know you will enjoy your sewing room now unless you are like I was a first and hate to mess it up.<BR/>I was trained to be a wife and mother, too. I took 4 years of Home Economics in school. The 4th year I was more of a teachers aid. I love all the different jobs this requires. The role was sort of looked down on in the 70s and I will admit I felt inferior at times. We all know just how many roles we play and how much it would cost to replace us.<BR/>I knew the one about sour milk but not the lemon in the disposal.<BR/>Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-79073107485012238512008-03-19T09:08:00.000-05:002008-03-19T09:08:00.000-05:00I too spent many hours as a child playing with pla...I too spent many hours as a child playing with play kitchen things. I loved my Susie Homemaker Oven! I still like to bake over anything else to do in the kitchen. Wish I liked to clean like you do though! Thanks for bringing back the childhood kitchen memories! I noticed your masterpiece quilt by your chair! Keep at it! I can't wait to see it finished!Marilyn Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249212194704638191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-49751077874838453902008-03-18T23:31:00.000-05:002008-03-18T23:31:00.000-05:00I enjoyed my visit.

Strange to think of doing that all over again. I 'll have to dream of it and imagine. I love that picture of you as a child. I too was born to be a wife and mother. The highest calling indeed.<BR/>I'd love to contact coopers wife but she has a set up on her blog that I do not understand. Tell her I enjoy reading her posts.Donettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530145585581721795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802158747151535187.post-58231648186922756732008-03-18T19:57:00.000-05:002008-03-18T19:57:00.000-05:00I like the way you've moved things around!
