I came across this short description of what a home should be. It’s an extremely attractive picture; and an encouraging one. I found it in the book, “The Self-Sufficient Life and How To Live It” by John Seymour; it is reprinted here with permission: “A true home should be the container for reviving real hospitality, true culture and conviviality, real fun, solid comfort, and above all, real civilization. And the most creative thing that anybody can do in this world is to make a real home. Indeed, the homemaker is as important as the house, and being a “housewife” is the most creative, most important job on Earth.”
