I had forgotten that ladies use to do their washing in Monday and ironing on Tues. Does anyone remember what was done on the rest of the week? I think baking was one. I notice that Artie writes Warsh for Wash. In recent years, my son makes fun of me for saying WARSH not WAASH. My grandparents were from midwest and they raised me. Guess that's where I got it. I have my husband's maternal grandmother's diary from the 40's also. This woman was always doing something. Mostly she sewed and crocheted. Like my own grandmother, she was never still. Barbara
