FAMILY
I love reading about all the family get-togethers. The two weddings in the community reminded me of growing up in Indiana. Sometimes it seemed there was a shower every week. There were certain givens–multiples of the same item were very rare. Many gave the same thing to each bride. Everyone knew who would give a flour sifter, a pair of scissors, a rolling pin, an egg beater, etc. In the depression, gifts were modest and useful.
I’ve been listening to Stephen King’s “Carrie” in the car. It is not at all what I expected–there are still three tapes to go so I’m not sure what is yet to come.
