Probably not. I was there today with the booklist of recommendations from your readers and barely found any of the books!! Luckily I found a Grace Livingston Hill book with 4 of her stories in it at Goodwill and I so LOVED The Enchanted Barn. I have few $ in my Amazon acct so I'm off to see what I can get there!<br /><br />Manuelathe pleasures of homemakinghttp://thepleasuresofhomemaking.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-7451484280631917962009-06-15T23:02:35.674-04:002009-06-15T23:02:35.674-04:00Thankyou Brenda for the book recommendations. Enjo...Thankyou Brenda for the book recommendations. Enjoy the mini vacation!! :) I can't tell you how many times the Victory Garden Cook Book has come to my rescue. It is part gardening/part recipes. I have a cook book with an odd title. When I first came apon it used I bulked at looking through it. When you hear the title you will know why. The title is A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband under this title it says with Bettinas Best Recipes. The authors are Louise Benny Weaver and Jelen Cowles Lecron. The copyright is 1917. I have seen newer copies of it. It is part recipes part the story of a couples first year of marriage to include the ladies luncheons and meals the couple had together etc. It is woven together to tell you how the housewife then lived. Bettina keep talking of using the fireless cooker. Anyone know what that was in those days? There are a series of Bettinas coookbooks and I have others but I am sorry to add that none I have found have the stories too. :( I was so in hopes the other books would continue the story line. The first was written so you felt like you knew or were Bettina. Wonderful book and glimps into those times. You learn to cook new things and how to do it as she does or how she tells her friends she does. They talk of their clothes and homes etc too. Lots of fun.

I hope you feel better soon; your vacation does indeed sound lovely.<br /><br /> Guess what what? I was inspired by your "All thing lovely" reading list for June, so at midnight (I was up and about ;)) I started compiling a list. I was digging through my mom's homeschooling/parenting/faith books, and what did I pull out but Edith S.'s 'The Art of Homemaking'! I was so delighted and happy I couldn't stop beaming. After hearing you sing her praises, I had thought to myself, "Hm, that sounds like a good book. I would love to read it." And lo and behold, it was sitting on our shelves and I never knew! God is good...<br /><br /> I hope you have a wonderful little vactation, Brenda. Don't forget to make yourself a cup of tea! :)<br /><br />P.S. Do you think you could keep my mother in your prayers? She had a very strong chest pain Friday afternoon, and went into the hospital fo tests at 1:00 pm today.<br /><br />Wishing you a lovely book-reading-and-movie-watching-and-soul-resting day,<br />GraceGrace K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14706866815686104387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-88351256854836909412009-06-15T13:44:05.895-04:002009-06-15T13:44:05.895-04:00Ooooooooooo, downstairs maids bringing tea and sco...Ooooooooooo, downstairs maids bringing tea and scones.....sweet notion that!<br /><br />Thanks for the terrific reviews of cookbooks.
