Clear and cool
Washed as usual.
(Grandma always did her laundry on Monday. I do mine on Saturday and it doesn't take near the effort. When do you do your laundry?)

My grandmother, Ruth Campbell Smith (1892 - 1972) kept a diary for many years. I am posting her entries from 1925 - 1927 in this blog. Her family included sons Dale (1916 - 2004), Dick (1918 - 1971), Albert (1920 - 1979), and Ned (1923 - 1976), and later daughters Marjorie (1925 - 2010) and Eleanor (1929 - 2011). Her husband was Gilbert (1889 - 1937) and they lived in Indianapolis. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of what it was like to be a housewife and mother in the 1920's.

I do my laundry when---and only when---I look around at the piles on the floor Sunday night and decide that none of the items therein would "just do" with a little bit of dryer-and-Bounce fluffing on Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteI am so convinced that I live in the correct century!
I do laundry daily - 2 to 3 loads each day. The only exception is Fridays.
ReplyDeleteWhen I had little ones I did laundry every day. But now I don't have to do any at all, because all of mine goes in with "girl of the homestead"s family wash. Aren't I lucky?
ReplyDeleteI pretty well follow the traditional schedule, but on my days off. Since I usually have Tues and Wed. off, I wash clothes on Thurs., iron on Friday, mend/sew Sat before I date (I'm single), go shopping Sun., clean Monday and do everything else, mostly errands on Tuesday. Sometimes I do nothing on Wed., mostly I goof off and do what I need to finish.
