A friend picked me up to go to our monthly "Tuesday Stitchers that used to meet on Wednesday but now meet on Tuesday again" meeting. The group gets smaller and smaller, but we have been meeting for many years, and are good friends. On the way home, my friend Susanne told me how excited she was to be going to the Theatre Centre tonight to see Harvey. I didn't realize that it had been a Broadway Play long before it was made into a movie. What a coincidence with you talking about seeing the movie a short while ago, Beth.
The conversation at the meeting turned to the negative effect, on our social skills, not having a good education can have. One of the ladies was educated in England during the depression, and because of poor health, only completed 3 1/2 years of school, before being sent out to work. Another of the ladies, told of being very dependent on her mother to support her in social situations, again in the 30's, in England. Her mother died when she was 13 and she was immediately sent off to boarding school. She told us that she realized very quickly that no-one would be supportive to her there and she would have to look after herself. Makes us appreciate the lives we live now, doesn't it?
