doodle--that pic is from around 1965 or '66. I was born in Nov. of '62. (you whipper-snapper, you!!)

And it's KANSAS not Alabammy... which for you "geographically impaired" folks isn't the Deep South. We was a FREE STATE, baby. In the Midwest. As MID as you can get, actually.

But I can't help agreeing that it looks just like Macomb County, Alabammy here, in about 1932.

"Scout" is just around the corner from us. And that's not Catherine, it's Calpurnia!

I would think more like Auntie Em is around the corner spanking Dorothy for running around in a tornado.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

When I was very young my mother, father and grandmother cleaned houses and commercial buildings and I went with them. Actually, they started their own cleaning business, but they did much of the work themselves. Some of my earliest memories are of going with my mother and grandmother to doctors offices and watching them clean while my sister and I played.

ETA and we were middle class. My parents owned thier own home and were both college educated.

My mother's parents had a nurse who tended her from the time she was born until she was about 6 and was in school. My grandmother was raised in Kentucky in a big southern family (10 kids and they had a Mammy.)

In my home growing up, we didn't have servants...we WERE the servants. My parents never even got a dishwasher because, as my mother said, "Why buy one when I've given birth to four of them."

I've lived in places with cleaning ladies who come e/o week. It's nice but it feels awkward if I'm home when they are. I'd prefer to let them work without feeling like they are being watched.

So now, according to PB ENT, the euphemism for "maid" is "cabin boy". Hmmm, I guess that sounds so much better when you're off in a social whirl and complaining about the hired help.

Sad. Terribly sad.

Those were the days. I did have a maid once. My husband was in the army and stationed in Korea. Long story but I ended up going to Korea on my own and living "on the economy" as they used to call not living on the base. I had two children and no car but I had Mrs Kim. She was great. The only thing I did was the cooking. She did not live with us but she was there every day. I wanted to bring her home to the states and I think she would have come but I think she had 6 children of her own. My 1 year old son loved her and she loved him. Boys were the preferred gender in Korea. I cried when I left her.

"cabin boy"?, poor dear, Dollop, I don't do "cabins"...but I do do Cabanas... sometimes in Havana... at times involving a banana and always with Mr. B. Ahhhhh....... And I never complain about anyone. That's another person's job.

The image of PB ENT "doing" a cabana is extremely distasteful. Especially if she's performing this lewd act under the watchful eyes of Mr B--and the entire Castro regime.

Utterly tasteless.

We have a maid who comes 3 times a week. She doesn't clean though. She just eats our food and we watch Maury together. I love her :)
