the same bench every time

 

On You Tube there's a video titled:

A Closer Look:  Jackie Kennedy's Hyannis Port Home | Cultured Elegance

uploader / channel - Cultured Elegance With Faith

        (The word "faith" in the channel's title gave me pause, at first, but there's no yelling about religion in the video.)

+  I learned what a cutting garden is - although the video just mentions the words, I Googled it...

+   In the evenings Jackie would go for a brisk walk and then sit down, on the same bench every time, and smoke a cigarette.

+  When they had guests for dinner, each place setting had its own salt and pepper shakers.

+  In 1979 Jackie left the Hyannis Port house for the last time, and left all the contents there - furniture, pictures, etc.

That last one, I found a little hard to believe.  On the other hand, there could be reasons for that.  Trying to move forward after trauma.

        Memories of her husband:  treasured?  or painful?
