I also remember that every piece of laundry was starched, except towels and underwear. The pieces were so stiff they would stand up on their own. She had a vinegar bottle filled with water with a cork and sprinker head on it and us kids had to sprinkle the clothes to get them damp while she ironed. And I never heard her complain about anything.
out of her are use four youngens either when we had to pitch in to help day after day.
