🎙️ Episode 13: No to Mrs. Miniver, but Yes to Cranberry Salad and Chili - [Nov 23, 1942]
It's only Monday, but the week of Thanksgiving is already busy with socializing, socializing, socializing. But not at the movies.
It's the week of Thanksgiving, and there's a lot of socializing to be done. Mattie visits and visits and visits, and bemoans that visiting will get much harder with coffee rationing taking away the pleasure of a cup of joe with your pals.
One thing that won't get done is going to see Mrs. Miniver, even if it is a good movie. Mattie learns about Ken's housing, and we learn about how much housing they needed to house the mobile workforce and the Army in 1942. Plus, how amazing the writing was in National Geographic.
And, we finally hear from Bud! After nearly 2 months of being out-of-touch, he has written.
