A high school classmate sent me an email with pictures of things from our childhood and this one
made me laugh and started me to thinking. I always remember my Mom in the basement doing
laundry and how long she would spend down there. Needless to say I apparently did not go to
see how she was doing! Not like today when we throw a load of clothes in the washer and go
check email or whatever. Not only did she stand there thru the whole procedure but weather
permitting then hauled them all outside and hung them on the clothes. If necessary she had indoor
racks for hanging to dry. At some point later they had to be folded, ironed and put away.
Keeping in mind she also worked full time as a cook in a very hot restaurant kitchen, had a large
garden and 3 kids.
And I thought I was busy when I was working. Something to think about.
