"Everything That We Do Lovingly"
"And after all, romance is really in everything that we do lovingly, and intelligently. I find it in planning and cooking the best and most economical meals that I can, and in getting the mending done on time, and in keeping the house clean and beautiful."
--Louise Bennett Weaver, A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband (1917)

Margo, I don't believe the author is using the word "romantic" to refer to a love relationship; rather the broader meaning of the word that encompasses beauty, spiritual idealism, and a quality of emotional resonance.
Where do you find these old books, Miss Anna?
Beautifully said and so simple!
I'm in love with this book. Do you have any other recommendations that can be found online?
