Rain, cool
Ironed all day and did a little of my mending.
(It seems Grandma always washed clothes on Monday and then ironed on Tuesday, every single week.)

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 think 'back then' monday was always wash day & tuesday was always ironing day. I do know when she had to go to work outside the home, saturdays were always cleaning days, which involved the whole family (those who lived at home). I vowed when I grew up saturday would not be a day for cleaning. However, when you have a family, every day is cleaning day.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember that saturdays were spent doing some cleaning.

I read this blog and it makes me want to go out and buy an iron and ironing board just to see what the experience is like - LOL
