Two Furnished Rooms And A Little Back Porch

Two Furnished Rooms and a Little Back Porch opens a window looking out on the world of a bygone generation. It is a charming biography of a couple that relished life and treasured family more than any gold. The book is filled with the details of a simpler, less cluttered life, while revealing the hardships endured by a generation lacking antibiotics and most of the labor saving appliances that we now take for granted. As you read the book, you will be surprised at how relevant it is to understanding how your own grandparents and great-grandparents lived. As an example, we now buy and sell automobiles without so much as a second thought. However, in the transition years between horse riding or foot travel and the automotive age, cars were wonderful possessions to be cared for and cherished. In this context, it is much easier to see the origins of the American love for cars and why our grandparents differed from us in their far-more careful treatment of the "family" car. The Kibbles lived a life that was filled with opportunities to help their neighbors and friends. Two Furnished Rooms and a Little Back Porch describes a couple who valued simple pleasures and gave generously to those in need. The ancient Greek philosopher who tirelessly searched for "an honest man" would have wanted to sit down and have a long, long talk with Edyth and Jesse Kibble.
