This week we spent some time in the mountains and gained some intuitive powers as a result. We used those powers to read our listeners' minds, and then we knew exactly what this world needed: a healthy dose of Switzerland's history, our two cents on what makes simplicity so captivating, and an oh-so-thrilling conversation about happiness vs. suffering. Come partake of the welfare as we review Heidi by a woman whose name we either can or cannot pronounce. Rebecca insisted that we include the Swiss Guard traditional uniforms in our cover image, so you have her to thank for that. Holly continues to finish whatever book we're talking about the day we plan on recording the episode, but at least the quotes she prepares are better than her counterpart's.

Did you hate this episode so much that your daily cup of goat milk tasted unusually sour? Or did you love it to the extent that you're already starting a committee to formally decide on how to pronounce Johanna Spyri? We know you have opinions, so that's why we suggest you use the rate/review or like/subscribe functions in the likely case that they are positive ones. Further options to vent include our email at tworetiredhomeschoolers@gmail.com. If you have Instagram, you can follow us @tworetiredhomeschoolers to become one of our golden fans. In two weeks, we'll be tackling Tucker by Louis L'Amour. Now go watch a sunrise or start a new habit of hiding biscuits in the closet with our blessing!
