I finished the book on Rose Kennedy. It was interesting though critical of her. What I learned from this book was
- She was spoiled.
- She was entitled and knew it.
- She was obsessed with weight and image.
- She had a lot of house-hold help including maids, cooks, nurses, governesses.
- She liked quiet.
- She traveled a lot alone.
- She left the important decisions up to her husband.
- She was in Paris when her father died and never made it back for the funeral. The same thing when her mother died.
- She helped raise (or her house-hold helped raise) her sister's Agnes's children.
- She spent a lot of money on clothes, travel, hotels, jewelry but was cheap at the same time.
- She loved the spot light then escaped to be alone.
- She never changed a diaper, cooked a meal, or cleaned her house.
I am going to start a new book called "The Plantagenets". I believe it starts in the 11th century. The Plantagenets ruled before the Yorks or Lancastrians who ruled before the Tudors.
Should be interesting if one likes history as I do.
I would really like this pain at the base of my neck to stop hurting.
