"The first thing I must do is become more religious. I will have to learn to be a 'righteous example of piety and purity, virtuous to a fault, kind and sharing,' if I am to be the Happy Bride in the book. 'Bible study is the first importance of being a wife.'...the book doesn't say what to do if you have slept in your underwear on top of a soldier in a wagon during a rainstorm."
(pg. 87) 
today will be questions for all of you,

Wonderful questions! I finished it a few months ago so I will need to go back to what I underlined to come up with all of my answers! But such a great pick! Can't waitt o see what you will pick for next month, I am almost done with American Wife and looking for a new read!
After reading the questions, I realize I am not equipped to answer most of them without reading the book again. Geez. It was only a couple of years ago that I read it. My memory is fairly worthless these days...sad to say.
One thing I can tell you is about Dee, the closest thing I've ever had to a mentor, a person I truly admired. She passed away a couple of years ago, but I was her visiting teacher...and yet, every time I went over there to teach her, I was the one who got nurtured. I always came away feeling far better than when I'd arrived.
She was one of the wisest women I'd ever met, and her natural goodness was always kind of shining in her eyes...and her entire countenance. And she was lovely, just lovely, even though she was quite overweight. But her style and the colors she wore and the fabrics she chose and her beautiful face transcended all the usual standards by which we measure beauty.
She gave me some of the best advice I've ever received...the best piece of counsel being to "just decide" to love my son and daughters-in-law. Period. No questions asked. No debate. This has really served me well and made me a far better mother-in-law.
She always smelled good, too. Being around her was like being wrapped in a soft, warm hug...even when she wasn't actually giving you one (which she did, often.)
How I miss her!
=)
PS. THANKS for putting my blog button up! It's exciting to see.
