Found in today’s NYT: an example of domestic writing “in the wild”.
In a deeply personal look at the home of F. Murray Abraham includes this photo of his granddaughter’s height chart and what it means to both of them. A testament to the importance of these artefacts as archives of family life!

The brewery at Dundurn Castle was restored in 1967 as a centennial project, with artifacts sourced from the Ontario countryside, and funded by Labatt, who restored their original brewery at the same time. In 1835, rainwater was stored in cisterns below the castle for bathing; beer was for drinking.
