The flower that continues to bloom: Where do they get this stuff?

Where do they get this stuff?

Kids are so funny when they're trying to impress each other and act all grownup. Here's a conversation between my neices and Taylor:

Neice: Spanish people mostly eat junk food.

Taylor: What?

N: Well, I know that because the Spanish people I've seen are fat.

T: That doesn't mean they eat junk food. It just means they are abusing their privileges.

Well. Seems I have a little more instruction to attend to.

What's the blog title about?

In 2010 I came across a series of vintage booklets entitled "Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women" (copyright 1965) at a thrift store. I didn't look inside any of them: the titles and cover art were funny enough that I had to have them. And it didn't hurt that I got four booklets for 25 cents. My favorite was "How to be a more interesting woman." Who could pass that up?

A few days later I started to look through the book for a laugh, and found myself almost immediately absorbed by the author's wisdom and wit. She made some good points . . . she made a lot of good points. This was something I could use, for who doesn't want to be more interesting? And here in my hands was a surprisingly progressive manual on how to do it.

So, in my newfound quest to be more interesting, I thought I'd use this forum to try things out and reflect on my efforts. In short, I hope to become the kind of person that continues to flower and grow.
