I call the sad look in a childs eyes "the wounded puppy look"
My mother always said that. "....they looked like a wounded puppy." I don't beleive I ever saw a wounded puppy but they must look that way!
I got a chance to read the journels of a great grandfather. They spanned 1917 to 1947. It was great. g grandma got summer complaint frequently which I guess was any time you felt too hot or missable about anything you had summer complaint. I get that some times LOL When snowed in during the winterand getting low on supplies they would hook up the sleigh and collect the neighbors for pot luck supper. everyone would bring something to help make the meal. and every month he bought 1 pair of silk stalkings for around 60 cents and a couple of cigars for 5 cents. the stalkings were quite expensive. He walked the railroad traicks and made repairs for a living. he wrote each days weather down, what he did,what his wife did. update of the local goings on etc. my aunt inherited them. She won't take care of them but that is life. well I could go on and on but I got to go now. Candy
