Let's see if this will work for our discussion. I think cindy, Lynne, Anne(?)and I will be interested in reading together. Anyone else?

Thanks for reminding me, Lynne. We will have a good group. I am reading on my Microsoft Reader on the computer and am on Ch. 2 (I think).

So I'll have to see how reading goes in the beginning of this week. I might try and fit it in but I'll be reading ya'll's discussion to see what ya'll think at the least.

Hi Anne, I was hoping you would read with us. I am loving the book. And I am angry with one of the characters! I also am the age of the main characters and had children in the 1960 and 70s so the attitudes ring so true to our lives back then...you youngsters might not feel the same!

I even had two babies in diapers for a brief time. Not really bragging here. When my 3rd and youngest child was born, I said this is going to be a pampered baby.

Zorro, I can identify with the time period of raising my family as well. Cloth diapers and putting them in the diaper pail to soak. Can't say I miss doing that anymore. I even had two babies in diapers for a brief time. Not really bragging here. When my 3rd and youngest child was born, I said this is going to be a pampered baby.( pampers was a brand of disposal diapers)and I was about to take the leap into a more modern way of of keeping a little bottom dry.)Turned out she couldn't wear them because her skin was just too darn sensitive.(allergic reactions.) So, back to the diaper pail it was.

Yes Zorro, I'm remembering right along with you. lol lynne

lol lynne

Ditto here 2 babies in diapers! My third, born in 1975, was not allergic, thank goodness! My 6 month old granddaughter has never even had diaper rash with the disposables. I keep her 3 days a week and it all seems easier now. Maybe it is because she comes at noon and goes home around 6pm!
