Poor Wes - Reading the Ration Calendar - [Jan 27, 1943]

Wes is having terrible luck, Mattie is still doing lots of volunteering, and wood gas is a possible substitute for fuel oil. There's a lot happening at the end of January, including Mattie processing being an empty nester. Most exciting, though, is that Steve is mentioned in the letters for the first time (despite not being born for nearly 5 years) when Mattie dreams of a son that Ken might one day have. Which leads us, inevitably, to playing with blocks. –––– Characters This Week: Virginia (future daughter-in-law) Wes (son) Florence (daughter-in-law) Bud (step-son) Viv (step-daughter) Wally (step-son-in-law) Billy (step-grandson) –––– Website: moth.family Contact us: [email protected] Get notified about new episodes –––– Mattie On The Homefront is produced by Hans Buetow.
