Micki’s Meanderings
Hurray For Fall Her/His Voice Readers!
Autumn is such a beautiful time of year
with the trees and their myriad of colors.
We are so blessed to live in this part of the
country where we truly get to witness the
seasons and what each one brings.
This issue of Her/His Voice is once again
packed full of inspiring, entertaining and
informative stories. We hope you enjoy them
as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.
If you know of anyone (or yourself) whose
story our readers would enjoy please feel free
to send it in for consideration in one of our
upcoming magazines.
I came across this and thought it was
worth sharing…for humorous reasons. This
is really a sign of how much has changed over
the years. From the 1950’s to today.
This appeared in a 1950 Home Economics
book and I have revised it just a bit.
Tips To Look After Your Husband
Have dinner ready
It suggests we should plan ahead, even the
night before, to have a delicious meal ready
on time. It further reads: this is a way of
letting him know that you have been thinking
about him and are concerned about his
needs. Most men are hungry when they come
home and the prospect of a good meal is part
of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself
Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be
refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your
make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be
fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of
work weary people. Be a little happy and a
little more interesting. His boring day may
need a lift.
Prepare the children
Take a few minutes to wash the children’s
hands and faces (if they are small), comb
their hair and if necessary, change their
clothes. They are little treasures and he would
like to see them playing the part.
Minimize the noise
At the time of his arrival, eliminate
all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher or
vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be
quiet.
Some don’ts
Don’t greet him with problems or
complaints. Don’t complain if he’s late for
dinner. You should count this as minor
compared with what he might have gone
through that day.
Make the evening his
Never complain if he doesn’t take you out
to dinner or to other entertaining things.
Instead, try to understand his days of strain
and pressure, his need to come home and
relax.
The goal
Try to make your home a place of peace
and order where your husband can renew
himself in body and spirit.
Well, now that I’ve shared these 1950’s tips
with all…ladies, talk amongst yourselves…
lol! I’m pretty sure a lot of women today
would have a thing or two to say about
these tips but I’ll let you all form your own
opinions.
Blessings to all,
