Thank you! Im taking a break from blogging.....its hard to keep up with a blog after several years, so I decided to retire, at least for now. Im working on some home improvement projects that Ive been putting off for quite some time. It feels great to get my house cleaned and organized. My next goal is painting several rooms...... Mitzi

Im glad you enjoyed the photos, Tamara. I think you are right.....women didnt have as many opportunities back in those days. They were treated like second-class citizens in many households. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always appreciate your thoughtful comments! Mitzi
