We have mostly tile throughout the house. The living room, has carpet, and high traffic. We were dogsitting for a few days, and the dog, which is supposedly house-broken, made a mess on the carpet. Good thing we had this steam vac handy. It took out the mess and left no stains. Only gripe is that if you do not replace the reservoir properly after emptying out the dirty water, it will not operate properly. Took about 30 minutes to figure it out and get it right.

When I was done brushing my German Shepherd/Chow-Chow the pile of fur was bigger than she was. It makes it really easy to keep up with spring shedding. There is almost no fur in our house anymore, we just give her a quick brush every-other-day and it makes a huge difference.

This was a great book, enjoyed the story line and it provided a wonderful discussion with my Book Club. Looking forward to the movie along with additional books from this author.

Very good performance from Alan, Elvis, The imposters and the horn section. Brings new flavours to Costellos music.

This watch has been great for me. I don’t currently use every feature but it is easy to use and quick to learn.

THE HELP
Kathryn Stockett
THE HELP, a New York Times bestseller by Kathryn Stockett, is a novel depicting the personal relationship between black maids and the white families, especially the women, who employ them. The story is set in a fictional section of Jackson, Mississippi, from 1962 to 1964. It tells a story of what it was like being a black maid in the Civil Rights era in Jackson, Mississippi, as seen through the eyes of two black maids and one liberal white woman, uniquely three first person narrators.
Three women, seemingly as different from one another as can be, come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk and change their lives and the lives of others in a way neither of them has imagined. In the midst of the Civil Rights era, race relations in Mississippi are already dangerous. And Miss Skeeter, a young white woman–twenty-three years old and a recent graduate of Ole Miss, with ambitions of becoming a writer–elicits the help of two black maids.
Upon graduating, Miss Skeeter returns to her family home where she resumes living with her very proper but callous mother and her very kind and gentle father. Her older brother is away in law school at LSU in New Orleans. She is disappointed when she discovers Constantine, the maid who raised her and taught her kindness and self-respect, has been replaced by another black maid. Her mother had fired her after twenty-nine years, but no one will tell her why. “It was a colored thing,” her mother responds when asked for an explanation. Neither will anyone tell her how to contact Constantine.
With personal problems of her own and her mother clamoring for her to get married and start a family as have her two friends and former college roommates–but she doesn’t even have a boyfriend–she takes a job at the local newspaper, writing a column on housekeeping. But knowing nothing of this subject, she befriends her friend Elizabeth’s maid, Aibileen, who helps her write her column.

I am writing this entry after just receiving notice that the author of this book, J.D. Salinger, has just passed away at 91. I am living proof, although I am sure no alone on this account , that the teenage angst that preppie Holden Caulfield, the narrator of “Catcher In The Rye”, was caught up in his immediate post-World War II generation was contagious all the way down at the bottom of society to housing project kids like me later on. Needless to say this high school assigned-reading was one of those books that I devoured at one sitting, if I recall correctly. But here is a better perspective on the book. Some books you read once and move on. Others you read, re-read and live out, including on a trip to New York a stay at the old Taft Hotel. How is that for having a more than a literary effect on the reader. Only Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” had more. So long, J.D.
