Sneak Peek and Tentative Truce
Interesting comments to yesterday's post on the low tech way to do laundry. So many of you have the same memories as I do. One woman said that we must have had the same grandma, her recollections were so identical to mine. We always wondered what happened to Uncle Roger, maybe this is a clue? …

Laundry
When did laundry stop being fun? When I was a little girl, I used to love helping Grandma Agnes with the wash. There was a comforting and predictable sequence to Laundry Day. We started early in the morning, and devoted a good part of the day to complete the task. There was a big tall…
