He was a writer and that was my dream as well. He was also about my age...just a few years older.Luana Krausehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940192586072864886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702746.post-17366724186949871692012-04-18T06:50:21.161-07:002012-04-18T06:50:21.161-07:00Patricia: You would really enjoy the show.

The show revolves around his point of view.Luana Krausehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940192586072864886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702746.post-34141642973722669112012-04-18T06:48:57.752-07:002012-04-18T06:48:57.752-07:00Susan: People from that period in history really a...Susan: People from that period in history really appreciate all that they have.

Dads at home,moms working piecework (things like making flowers, beading purses, sewing collars on shirts).<br /><br />My mother remembers the church ladies coming around at Christmas with a basket of goodies.
