It was supposed to be white but for some reason, for some people, the white doesn't show up. I will need to change the entire template (I don't know how to do CSS or HTML) and won't be able to get to it until next week. In the meantime, I've put up the very first template I used with the blog (it has issues of its own but at least it is easier to read). Hi Beth, I’m sorry you are having trouble reading it.

I guess I can't say all of them espoused such thinking, but I think as a society there was more agreement in how to get through life. They understood that the "rules of life" were meant to be followed. I also like the timer idea. My mother made lists in order to keep herself focused on what she needed to do. She treated homemaking, including her sewing and handwork, as her job. I am retired and love being home but have failed to establish standards, though my card system is ready. (I'd rather organize the system than follow it.) Yes, our grandparents were wise.

It's hard to stay focused when it seems no matter how much you do, there will always be more. I loved this blog post! Weren't our grandparents wise?
