After I read it, I noticed advertisements for lots of Ya Ya groups/clubs all over the place. (Nothing which interested me.) When we moved here, I accidentally checked out "The Sweet Potato Queens" on one of my first visits to the public library. As I read, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between the two books. Lo and behold, at the back of the copy I borrowed, there was a list of Sweet Potato groups. I distinctly remember that one was only about 25 miles away, and only open to plus sized women. I remember little of the content of these books, but was struck by creation of organizations which require you to pay in return for friendship/fellowship. Bleah. <br />Good luck with your long work days in the coming weeks. I'll be thinking of you as I force myself to box up things in this place.

So, this is definitely a political topic. But, THE PERSONAL IS POLITICAL.<br />Maybe your husband is sort of getting cold feet about retirement, wondering about how he can justify himself as a man who does not work. I am glad you are working things out for him and yourself.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-80806775604358710712022-05-28T12:26:26.032-05:002022-05-28T12:26:26.032-05:00Oh the lake place looks absolutely wonderful.

I’m relieved but sad it’s over and trying not to worry too much about the future. Pics in my insta story if you get a chance to check them out! Enjoy your time at the lake, we’ll be heading to one tomorrow. Raining and blah here today but Sunday and Monday look gorgeous and the heat is heading our way. I’m so thankful that we are done at public school. I know bad things can happen anywhere at any time but them not being in that situation is a great relief for me. I don’t think things are going to get better, maybe not ever.
