Olivia informed us today that she has no plans to clean her own house when she grows up. Estimating her net worth at $261, she says that's more than enough to hire a cleaning lady to do it for her! Her sisters enjoy cleaning a bit more and had the unique experience of "slopping the stoop" today, which involved mopping and squeegeying the front porch. They thought it was great fun. It's all part of the on-going campaign to teach basic housekeeping skills to girls who are spoiled by a housekeeper at home. The idea of cleaning your own, muchless cleaning it thoroughly ONCE A WEEK (and on a Saturday to boot) is too horrible to contemplate. As Olivia put it, "That's supposed to be my play day!" (as if every day were not play day on this trip.)Nonetheless, they cleaned for several hours. It broke up an otherwise dull day resulting from Cecily's sniffly nose and bad cold, which prevented us from making a trip. We'll make up for the "lazy" day tomorrow.

She must really really hate it to be willing to part with some of her hard-earned money! She very rarely considers that. lcs
