Those certainly were words to live by. No, my house isn't dirty, but I suppose it could use a dusting, and the wash might need doing. I have more important (to me) things to do!!
My grandmother who was born in the 1800s said in the 1940s, that she hated these "modern" times with vacuum cleaners and such! It was just too much work!
She said that they used to clean the house well twice a year and otherwise just dusted once a week, and moped the kitchen floor when it needed it!
Yes, she was a quilter - and all of her sisters too!
J!
