What a treasure to have those books!
I have a small collection from my grandparents who were raised in KY in the 1930s. The books from their school years suggest that they had a Classical/Charlotte Mason style education even if they didn't use those terms. Narrative history, mythology, Old Testament History, Jane Austin...and I know they did nature study, and they still remember scripture and poetry memorized when children. Lots of jokes are made about uneducated people in rural KY, but they had excellent educations. But that's 1930s,,,much later than what you are asking about.
Yes, a true treasure. I have her notes from school written in them as well. Some of the books were published specifically for school use and include a reference to "the requirements of the Committee of Ten" with a list of curricular requirements.
My grandfather's family came to Texas from rural KY as well.

I have an extensive collection of books that were my grandmother's ranging from the late 1800's to 1930's. The intros all seem to reference the 1830's and 1840's so it seems to me that at the turn of the century, at least, this was a type of golden age in literature. I will look at them and write a list for you of what I find. As for her own personal history, she was born in the 1890's to well educated parents who settled on the Texas frontier during the civil war. They lived in "town" however, prior to the (hasty) relocation to Texas, lived rurally in Alabama. My grandfather was a doctor, the son and grandson of preachers (Baptist), born in the 1880's. They also lived rurally- I actually do not note in our family archives that anyone lived in cities after immigrating to America, until very recently. I find the collection of books from their home very interesting with this considered. I do not have a family bible (but my dad says there was one), however, I have Shakespeare, Poe, Eliot, Stevenson, Burke, Emerson, etc. These were all given to me as a young child while she was still alive. I remember her taking them out of her cedar chest that she was giving to me along with her life's keepsakes. They were very treasured possessions.

Btw- the top 7% is for in state students. UT reserves @10% of admissions for out of state/international students. In state students over the 7% are admitted first so that Texas students comprise @90% of the first year admissions. I am not sure of the transfer stats, but it is easier to transfer into UT than to start there. The other system universities are not difficult to get into.

DH works in a federal capacity. Email is incredibly difficult to access outside of the office. Security protocols require special software to access it. I still find the diplomat's situation odd/suspicious considering the level of office, however it is not as simple as what the rest of us have to do to use our work email system.
I had a good laugh the other day when the delayed reporting (due to bad weather) email was sent to their work email addresses. EVERY official communication is sent via that address. However, no one received it because they don't check it if they are not at work.

The UT area is very walkable. Most residents also cycle the area, so a bike would be helpful. Restaurants, grocery, entertainment, parks, etc. are close and between shuttles and friends she should be able to get anywhere she needs. Busses are typically okay but as with any city, she'll need to learn where is safe. As pp mentioned, the hardest part is getting in as one of the 10% out of state students.

I use Chicago Cutlery. They have a lifetime replacement guarantee. I have used it twice during twenty years- just took the knives into their local factory store and switched them out. Mailing should be an option too.

I have rugs that I wash all the time. While they do fit in my front loader, I prefer to take them to the laundromat. We live in a rural area and have chickens, dogs, and a boy child. I don't want the nasty stuff that gets dragged in going into my washing machine. I buy the kind that don't have a backing on them and use rubber slip mats under them. Those I do wash in cold water in the machine.

I quit a job once because of a co-worker's voice. It's not my proudest moment, but I did put up with it for two years.

I walk. A lot. I crave the outdoors especially when I'm stressed- and I've needed quite a bit of therapeutic nature time lately as evidenced by my step totals. Our little town has a couple of retention ponds that have been designated a city park. It's quite lovely, wooded and remote. I can collect my thoughts, sort through them, and begin to hear the voice of reason come back to me.
I also *LOVE* my shakti mat. Dh has to regularly wake me from it.

These are the ones I like that are long:
These have a back waistband zipper pocket:
capri:
These are "fitness pants" as opposed to yoga pants. I think they are the same dang thing. I like the fabric and the fit a lot.

We call the treats left by the cat Jagger's tootsie rolls. He has recently taken to following the chickens around "cleaning up" after them.

This is same for me. Each pregnancy another booster and I am still not immune. My sister is the same.
Same here. So glad to know I'm not alone.

Meatballs:
1 large bag of frozen meatballs (or 3 of the small ones
1 can bottled chili sauce (heinz or store brand)
1 small jar of grape jelly
Dump it all in, stir when it gets warm enough for the grape jelly to ooze (or i suppose you could heat it ahead of time) and cook on high for 2-3 hours. Needs to be turned to warm after that, though, or it basically turns into meat candy.

The house where I cleaned once had a large grumpy looking male cat called Lizzie. Just felt really weird to use his name...it was like...lizzie is at the door, should I let him in?
Ds had a male anole named Lizzy (he was five when he aquired him). He also named two of the hens Warrior and Captain (he was twelve when they came along- no excuse).
