Happy Thursday Lovelies
Shopping day... and amongst other things a trip to the butchers was on the cards.
In May 1942, meat prices in the United States were beginning to be regulated by the Office of Price Administration (OPA), which froze prices at their highest March 1942 levels to combat rapid increases. I guess price increases are inevitable...and as yet there are no shortages and meat rationing.. But who knows what will happen in the future.
I also called into the florist and bought some flowers for my beautiful friend Ginny and after dropping the shopping a home I popped round to the hospital just in time for visiting hour. Ginny is on bed rest having very high blood pressure and putting her pregnancy at risk. She has had a very stressful couple of months, what with Michael getting hurt so badly at Pearl Harbour, and her travelling back and fro to San Francisco to visit him in hospital. But it it wont be long before he's home again
It did my heart good to see that after being so poorly she was sitting up in bed and was a little more like her old self. She said its surprising what a hairwash and a bit of lipstick can do for a girl. That's my Ginny! We chatted for the whole hour and time went so fast. She will be in hospital for a little while longer and seeing as the hospital is only a 15 minute walk from the house... I promised I would visit again before she goes home.
Tonights dinner was one of our favourites.... the oddly named Victory Medley, a tasty pasta casserole from Coupon Cookery by Prudence Penny, 1943.
