As I lay here listening to the gentle rain falling outside my open door, I got a bit chilled and wrapped a crocheted throw around my shoulders. Just that action made me recall my mother speaking of bed jackets. Although they seem obsolete now days, it must have been nice for the Victorian lady, sitting in bed and healing from childbirth or illness. I believe one of it's main purposes was modesty.
I remember once reading the instructions my mother was given after my birth: "On the second day you may hang your feet off the side of the bed!" Oh my darlings, what are we missing?
Humm, we have come a long way, babies!
Namaste.
