SO, did I. I ironed all the 'flat stuff'. And, no pay, but better still. I got to listen to the soaps on the radio. We started in the morning with Arthur Godfrey, then Don McNeil and the Breakfast Hour from the Sears Tower in Chicago, then later The Brighter Day, The Secret Storm and my all time favorite, Ma Perkins. Did you know, that Virginia Graham from the 'Girl Talk' show of the 70's was Ma Perkins AND, Ruth Martin from All My Children was her daughter inlaw in the program and that Judge Loyal's daugher Penny, IFrom As the World Turns) was friends of all of them and she and Virginia Graham had cameo appearances on All My Children. But, don't ask me what I age for Breakfast this morning. hahahaha

Now the memories are flooding in. I don't know if this is good or bad. Sureal.....
