It's Not a Castle in Spain

Oh, to be conducting primary research in sunny Spain!  Instead, I spent the day in a basement-actually a sub-basement-at the Wilson Library on the U of M campus fighting through the haze of possibilities.  My final topic choice?  Women on the Home Front.  The difficulty?  I need to do a little research before I can narrow it down, but there is SO MUCH INFORMATION that I need to narrow it down before I can begin.  So I started at the computer screen with a blank look on my face for about 30 minutes, randomly trying search terms and data bases that yielded NOTHING.  Then inspiration kicked in, and I FOUND COOL STUFF!  Now I should sort through the cool stuff, but it's a beautiful evening, my lilac tree by my patio is blooming, and I have a really good book club book for the month...
