LAUNDRY DAY
Chug, chug, chug. Swish, swish, swish. One of my most vivid childhood memories is of waking up on Saturday mornings at my grandmother’s house to the smells and sounds of her doing the laundry. The kitchen was turned into a laundry room with the presence of a wringer-washer and large rinse tubs. I could help sort clothes, and hang the rinsed items on the clothesline. What I loved the most was finally getting to put clothes through the wringer!
