And I love the old D.E. Stevenson books. I have collected them from used book sellers over the years. There is always a sort of genteel woman who is tired or poor or something or other, and she ends up in a situation with a cook or housekeeper that just lives to take care of her, leaving her free to rest up, roam the hills on long walks, have leisurely teas, and meet the man that she was always meant for.

We have had a maid at Cabo and she stayed about 4 hours of the day. I always felt like I was walking around her - we said no thanks - we will do our own dishes and the floors don't need to be mopped every day. Now if I owned Downton - I would have to surrender to help - I do love how they scamper in early during the morning hours and get out of the way before everyone is up and going.

Although raising kids and homeschooling them had been my life for over 2 decades, I worked myself out of a job. My kids are grown and largely independent, so I am now in a new season of life. <br /><br />Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes holding hands the other night was so sweet. I've loved that this season has brought both of them more and more to the forefront. I'm sad that the season is over, and we will have to wait many months before another episode...a new episode, that is. I own the first 3 seasons so I'm not completely in Downton withdrawal.Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-47949174591238571422014-02-26T19:40:35.460-05:002014-02-26T19:40:35.460-05:00Deborah: I have said many times if I could pick o...Deborah: I have said many times if I could pick one person to help just me, it would be a daily hairdresser. I would gladly do any housework if I had my hair the way I wanted it each day (lame, but true!) My second pick would be a handyman to do all the things I ask my husband to do.
