Oh, yes....my mother would get up really, really early and go down in the cold cellar where the wringer washer was and the wash water she used was scalding hot and when she rang the soapy clothes through the wringer steam would rise. And then she hung them on the clothesline, everything in order, all the socks matched, the shirts, pants, etc. And she never complained....never complained...no matter what life through at her she had the most beautiful smile that warmed you from the inside out.
