I work in downtown Orlando and have been passing by the same homeless woman every week.She never asks me for money,but always greets me with a smile.

I wrote in a Facebook post,"Each Tuesday,Amy simply said 'Good morning Sir,have a great day.'and smiled.I wear a suit to work every day,so I get asked a lot for money quite often in downtown but never once from Amy Joe." Every Tuesday,Amy and I have lunch together,during which I get to hear how positive she is even though she really has nothing.Last week,Amy dropped a bomb on me¡ªshe can't read.She told me how hard it was for her to find work not being able to read.She began to use her collected money to check out library books instead of buying food.This crushed me!

I have been blessed with a family that has provided me with everything that I wanted to do.Amy Joe has not.So I start to teach her to read.I rent one library book a week and we read it together on Tuesday,and she practices on her own throughout the rest of the week.

This post is in no way to make anyone feel sorry for Amy or show off me something good.I wanted to share this because there area lot of people like Amy Joe¡ªnot all are hungry,homeless or hurt.Helping someone could be as easy as saying hello and smiling.

I also started a web page for Amy and have raised $ 5,000.The donations will to to food,clothing,a library card, and much more to help the less fortunate in the downtown Orlando area.

I am a working woman with a secret life: I keep house.An off-an-on lawyer and professor in public,in private I launder and clean,cook and devote serious time and energy to a domestic£¨¼ÒÎñµÄ£©routine,not so different from my grandmothers did as "housewives."When I want a good read,I reach for my collection of old housekeeping handbooks.I enjoy housekeeping and the comforts it provides.

I have almost entirely hidden this passion for housekeeping though I am writing a long story about it.No one meeting me for the first time would doubt that I spend my time knitting and remembering household facts.I knew I would not want this information about me to get around.After all,I belong to the first generation of the women who worked more than they stayed home.

Being viewed as over domestic can get you socially ostracized.When I made hand-rolled pasta£¨Òâ´óÀûÃ棩for a dinner,I learned the hard way that some guests will find this annoying,as they do not feel comfortable eating a meal that they regard as the product of too much trouble.When my son was in nursery school,I made the mistake of spending a few hours sewing for him a Halloween dressing,receiving hard stares of many fellow parents who had bought a Batman or Esmeralda costume.Many times my courage in writing the story failed me when painful silences followed my confession£¨Ì¹°×£©about the long book,"NO,not a history of housework,an explanation of it¡ªa practical book on how you make the bed and make a comfortable home."I managed to hold on partly because not everyone responded with that stare;there was support as well.And I was struck that no one responded with coldness.The topic was clearly hot-too hot for some people to handle,heartwarming to others.

1.What makes the author enjoy housekeeping?
