I love your porch fantasy!

I’ve read the second book. I didn’t find it quite as charming as this one, and it’s also a bit more dated—because it deals more explicitly with budgeting, I think, and that has changed more since the 1930s. It was harder for me to find things I could apply to my own life beyond the general concept of “having a budget.”
