A lot of those old superstitions that I grew up with pertained to keeping the Sabbath. We kids were fussed at if we waited until Sunday to do our homework. Sundays were a day for worship and rest. Only work that had to be done was allowed, like tending to the animals and cooking meals. My mother always put her sewing machine away on Saturdays and come Monday it was back out again to stay ready all week until Saturday came again. There were no sewing done on Sundays. If there were no visitors Sunday afternoon or we didn't go visit folks then Mama wrote letters. How it differed from school homework I never knew. I abide by a lot of those "superstitions" to this day. Shirley in TX
