Wash Day

As a young girl I was told that Monday is to be set a side for wash day. I remember my Mom washing with a wringer washing machine. I liked to help and one day I stuck my hand through the wringer, Mom came running and fell spraining her ankle to get to me she forgot her pain and shut the washer off and took my hand out. Our Dr. lived at the end of our block so Mom hobbles down with me to make sure I had not broken anything. Thank the Lord she just had a small sprain and I had not broken anything so the wash was finished and hung on the line.

So 55 years later I have a washer and dryer that is up to date with the times. I still hang clothes on the line in good weather so today that is what I have been doing. I can not wait to smell the clothes as I take them off the line. How God has helped in the inventions of different generations to make it easier for the cleaning of clothes. What will our grandchildren have to wash their clothes? I can not wait to see.
