“. . . It is one job where you enjoy the results right along as you work.

You may work all day washing and ironing, but at night you have the delicious feeling of sunny clean sheets and airy pillows to lie on.

If you clean, you sit down at nightfall with the house shining and faintly smelling of wax, all yours to enjoy right then and there.

And if you cook — that creation you lift from the oven goes right to the table.”

~ Gladys Taber, Stillmeadow Seasons

"Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; Home-keeping hearts are happiest, For those that wander they know not where are full of trouble and full of care; To stay at home is best." ~Longfellow
