You folks and your remembrances of Mondays left me with a great big dose of nostalgia and also ROFLOL. I spent most of my childhood at my grandparents house and what you were describing is EXACTLY what I remember my grandmother doing. Good grief I hadn't thought about that stuff in many, many moons. I especially remember her curtain stretchers. Boy could you ever get a punctured finger from those babies!!! I think too that, as much starch as was in the curtains, if you bent them too hard, they would probably have broken. :-D Oh boy, you have made me smile today with these stories. Thanks for bringing them up. Judy PS - My dog gets SOOO excited when I ask her if she wants to go along out to hang up the "WARSH". My husband asked me where I heard that word. I said I didn't know but maybe I just made it up to get a rise out of the dog. Little did I know that it must be something I heard as a kid.
