However, if she ran across a book she had never read or some music she was not familiar with, the cleaning ended. The good part was that we always had clean clothes and food on the table. We also always had books and music and newspapers out there for us to look through. I'll take that over a spotless house any day. Also we had a mother who was interested in us and what was going on in our lives more than making sure we never marked up the floor. Again something I'll take any day. A clean house is nice but a mother and a wife who are not so bogged down in things rather than people is worth a whole lot more in the scale of things. I consider myself lucky for having the mother I had. Would not trade her for the world!! My mother started out to clean house and all the other goodies that were part of the Mrs Cleaver generation.

Be sure to keep us posted if that should ever happen. suppose, just suppose, of course, that they latch you in your safe room from the outside. Be sure to keep us posted if that should ever happen.

Maybe, if I time things right and am very, very quiet, they'll never catch me out of this room. I'll have to give the idea of a mini-fridge some thought. Sooner or later, I'll run out of Girl Scout cookies and get sick of coffee and bottled water. But not tonight. Wheeee! The basement bathroom is about 8 steps away — it even has a shower!

Impregnable as you belive it to be........doesnot have a bathroom (does it?). The siege will be one of a matter of hours and not a shot be fired. Still I wish I had such a fortress (but with a frig and a bathroom). Ahhhh, the sanctuary. Impregnable as you belive it to be……..doesnot have a bathroom (does it?).
