This one put into prespective all my chores!

Years ago an Alabama grandmother gave the new bride the following recipe:

This is an exact copy as written and found in an old scrapbook - with spelling

errors and all.

WASHING CLOTHES

Build fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water. Set tubs so smoke wont blow

in eyes if wind is pert. Shave one hole cake of lie soap in boilin water. Sort

things, make 3 piles

1 pile white,

1 pile colored,

1 pile work britches and rags.

To make starch, stir flour in cool water to smooth, then thin down with boiling

water.

Take white things, rub dirty spots on board, scrub hard, and boil, then rub

colored don't boil just wrench and starch. Take things out of kettle with broom

stick handle, then wrench, and starch. Hang old rags on fence. Spread tea towels

on grass. Pore wrench water in flower bed. Scrub porch with hot soapy water.

Turn tubs upside down. Go put on clean dress, smooth hair with hair combs. Brew

cup of tea, sit and rock a spell and count your blessings.

================================================

Paste this over your washer and dryer. Next time when you think things are

bleak, read it again, kiss that washing machine and dryer, and give thanks.

First thing each morning you should run and hug your

washer and dryer, also your toilet---those two-holers used to get might cold!

For you non-southerners -wrench means rinse.
