Working Hard

Is a lot of fun! Husband wanted to watch a movie, and I came home a little early, so we walked to the video store and back tonight. I must fix dinner. Here is a nice quote:

From The Garden Yard (1909) by Bolton Hall

"Suppose that a man owns his house, even if it be but a bit of a bungalow, and suppose he has a bit of land on which he can raise most of what his family eats; he may have to work hard, especially if his family cannot help in the work, but at least he is independent; at least panics, lock-outs, change of circumstances, or even loss of health will not reduce him to starvation." 

We don't have that much land, and we do have a mortgage, but it is a good thought.
