Oh what wonderful memories...momma had a wringer washer and two tubs for rinsing and when the washing was done ..she used the rinse water for mopping the floors..before she got the wringer..she had to build a fire around the wash pot..bless her heart she lived to be 93 ..lost her 9 years ago Valentines Day..she proved that hard work never killed anybody...I was 15 before we had sliced bread..inside bathroom..tv..and a set of encyclopedias.and a piano...that's when momma married my stepfather...Lord we thought we were rich when we moved into his house..He bought her a featherweight sewing machine and I have it now...We made all our school clothes on it..she finally got her a washer and dryer after I graduated..in 1960...but she would still hang out some clothes on the line...I have the sprinkling bottle, mine is a pepsi..and I have a bottle of the bluing, and a set of the wire pant stretchers all on the wall in my laundry room..love antiques...thanks for all the memories...
