My Culture

The government here is Proprietary, No i could not participate because i didn't own land. I'm a unmarried old lady, that is rather hard too do. My religion is rather simple, We called it the Great Awakening, I would wake up every Sunday morning .. Look out the window and would say " Hello world! Another fabulous day with you! " than i would get dressed and sit at the table, Pray, than read the bible. The religion was very strong. They value education, oh man! They are so smart! These kids, I wish i had education like that when i was younger! Fonda will come here and tell me things that amaze me! It's wonderful, I promised her one day, she can teach me, and in return i will make her a sweater! She described the rooms where she learned .. Small, with a heater, one room, older kids would help her. They talked about science, and other odd things. Mhh what i think about the Glorious Revolution, Now i think its horrid. I was told about it in a letter from an old friend, her name is Anna Elsome. Shes an old friend, she said she was rather frightened about it. Had no clue what to think. However, The Navigation Acts got me my work items faster, i guess if i sew more i make more. Well today i made around twenty shirts, and five jackets, I know not my usual, i have been tired lately its getting colder now you may know. Well this is it night ya'll.
